Logiske bindeord, også kendt som "linking words" eller "connectors", har til formål at skabe forbindelser mellem idéer og sikre tekstuel og mundtlig sammenhæng. Denne guide præsenterer de vigtigste kategorier af bindeord, klassificeret efter deres kommunikative funktion.
1. Additions- og opremsningsbindeord
Disse termer bruges til at introducere et yderligere element, til at fortsætte en argumentation eller til at organisere argumenter efter en logisk eller hierarkisk progression.

Vigtige bemærkninger
- "And" er det mest neutrale bindeord til at kombinere to elementer af samme art.
- "Besides" fungerer som præposition i betydningen "ved siden af" (eksempel: "The keys are beside the door."), men som bindeord betyder det "desuden / i øvrigt".
- Varianterne first/firstly, second/secondly er semantisk ækvivalente, men formen med "-ly" hører til et mere formelt register.
