What are the transitional devices used in paragraph writing?
925202
Transitional devices are like bridges between parts of your paper. They are cues that help the reader to interpret ideas a paper develops. Transitional devices are words or phrases that help carry a thought from one sentence to another, from one idea to another, or from one paragraph to another. And finally, transitional devices link sentences and paragraphs together smoothly so that there are no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas.\n\nThere are several types of transitional devices, and each category leads readers to make certain connections or assumptions. Some lead readers forward and imply the building of an idea or thought, while others make readers compare ideas or draw conclusions from the preceding thoughts.\n\nHere is a list of some common transitional devices that can be used to cue readers in a given way.\n\nTo Add:\n\nand, again, and then, besides, equally important, finally, further, furthermore, nor, too, next, lastly, what's more, moreover, in addition, first (second, etc.)\n\nTo Compare:\n\nwhereas, but, yet, on the other hand, however, nevertheless, on the contrary, by comparison, where, compared to, up against, balanced against, vis a vis, but, although, conversely, meanwhile, after all, in contrast, although this may be true\n\nTo Prove:\n\nbecause, for, since, for the same reason, obviously, evidently, furthermore, moreover, besides, indeed, in fact, in addition, in any case, that is\n\nTo Show Exception:\n\nyet, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, of course, once in a while, sometimes\n\nTo Show Time:\n\nimmediately, thereafter, soon, after a few hours, finally, then, later, previously, formerly, first (second, etc.), next, and then\n\nTo Repeat:\n\nin brief, as I have said, as I have noted, as has been noted\n\nTo Emphasize:\n\ndefinitely, extremely, obviously, in fact, indeed, in any case, absolutely, positively, naturally, surprisingly, always, forever, perennially, eternally, never, emphatically, unquestionably, without a doubt, certainly, undeniably, without reservation\n\nTo Show Sequence:\n\nfirst, second, third, and so forth.

The rule of thumb in letter writing and typing up any types of paper is;\nIf you indent the first paragragh then you MUST indent the beginning of ALL the paragraphs, single spacing each line in the paragaph.  When you do this you DO NOT need to double space in between each paragraph if you don't want to.\n\nIf you choose not to indent the paragraphs then another option is \nsingle space each line of the paragraph and DO NOT indent any of the paragraphs BUT always double space to separate each paragraph from each other.\n\nHope that helps and makes sense to you.

There are so many to choose from.  I think that is really a matter of personal preference and style.  It is often not so much what is said, but how it is said, that makes an impression.\n\nThese links may help you clarify things in your own mind, and assist you in picking the devices that will work best for your writing.

You start with Dear____; then you double space down, indent three spaces to the right and begin typing your letter. When writing, you'll be making paragraphs, which consist of ideas and subjects grouped together, separated by double spacing. So, while talking about your trip to your cousins' house, keep your paragraph on one subject. When you're ready to talk about something else, you end the paragraph by double spacing, indenting three spaces to the right and starting a new paragraph. You can end the letter in various ways, depending on who you're writing to. If it's a business type of letter, you end with Sincerely or Sincerely yours, hit the spacebar then type your name. Line up Sincerely, two spaces below your last paragraph, then double space down, lining up with Sincerely and typing your name. If it's a letter to a family member or friend, you can sign it Love, Yours Truly or any other way. Then double space down and sign your name, doing it as before. Now, was that so hard to explain? You can also get help from an English teacher from school, or even your local Job Center, which have booklets teaching you how to write business letters, resume's and other such things. <*)))><

I usually turn it off rather than have it alter sentences or phrases which are correct. However, I must say that I write more technical papers, which may contribute to my annoyance with the animated paperclip.

If you wish to write in what is called an "archaic," or out-of-date, style, then you must understand the language as it was used at the time.  It helps a great deal, by the way, to develop a solid grasp of good usage and form in modern English, as well.  There is a linear relationship between the two.  Sometimes, this means checking on things that look a little odd after you write them, or when you read them.\n\nThus - your "PS" to the original post mentions "suspension periods" - as a former newspaper editor, professional writer and language geek, I have encounted most descriptions of punctuation marks but never this one.  But I went to the Oxford English dictionary and found it to be correct.  So thank you and congratulations.\n\nTo achieve your primary goal, begin by collecting writing from the same period.  Make a list of words, phrases, and structures.  There are typically two main variations in use in "contemporary" writing - formal usage which looks amazingly unlike the way we speak and write at this time, and "slang," or idiomatic usage that is the era's version of teen-speak.\n\nInasmuchas you mentioned "the 'Witch Craze'," I believe you are speaking of the early and mid-1600's in the British isles and her colonies.  Be aware that forms of English used in Scotland, Wales and Ireland in those years were very, very different indeed - and those are the places where you are more likely to encounter witch-burnings outside of France and New England.\n\nThere are several guides to language as used in that period.  The principal writing convention of the mid-17th century was a style known as "thorne," in which certain words were abbreviated.  I have labored many a miserable hour over pages of handwritten text in "thorne" and you should look it up.  If you become skilled at the glorious style of penmanship used in that time, and at the use of "thorne," it can become a secret language you and your friends can use amongst yourselves.\n\nMost of the principal writers of the time were the members of the brand-new Royal Society, inflamed and inflammatory partisans of Protestant and Catholic churches, and playwrights.  English opera was born at the end of this period under the pen of Henry Purcell.  You might look for a collection of the letters of young Isaac Newton, Richard Hooke, John Boyle, and others in the RS.  Alternatively read the letters, speeches and statements of Oliver Cromwell or his enemies, particularly Stafford.  Of course, the ULTIMATE writer in English of this time, to me anyhow, is John Donne.\n\nNow, are you ready?\n\nThere's a cheat for this process.  Haunt a used bookstore and obtain the three-volume "Baroque Cycle" series by Neal Stephenson - "Quicksilver," "The Confusion," and "The System of the World."  This stuff is EXACTLY what you want.  Stephenson writes in pseudo-archaic; that is, he is doing the kind of writing you wish to do.  And he tells wonderful tales about real people as well as fairy-tale critters.  Oh, by the way, at the end of it all you have acquired a most valuable and unique education in the basics of 17th and early 18th-century Western European history.
