BRIEF INTRODUCTION
What do you usually do when you want to cross the street or the road? Do
you use hand signals?
Here are some examples of signal words and phrases: “as a result,”
“nevertheless,” “at the same time,” and “similarly.”

Understanding the meaning according to function
Here are the examples of emphasis markers:
Category Function
• To show contrast between ideas
instead (replace a previous idea)
yet, but, still, though, however, (disagree)
conversely, even so, in contrast,
on the contrary, on the other
hand
still, despite, nonetheless,
nevertheless, notwithstanding, in (present a logical idea)
spite of
otherwise (suggests contrasting result when
certain condition is not met)
• To show sequence
first, second, third, firstly, (denote order)
secondly, thirdly, initially, in the
first place, then, next, later,
eventually, finally, lastly
meanwhile, in the moment (present an action occurring at
the same time with another
action)
• To add previous point in the essay add information)
and, too, also, plus, again,
another, moreover, afterward,
furthermore, additionally, and
then, in addition, as a matter
of fact, equally important (indicate similarity)
likewise, similarly, as well as,
at the same time, in a like
manner, in the same manner,
the same token (add an idea and defend a
besides negative position previously
on top of that, to top it all off stated)
• To emphasize a point

particularly, specifically, that is, I (expound further)
mean, to clarify, to repeat, to
rephrase, to illustrate, to
demonstrate, for example, for
instance, in particular, in other
words, as an illustration, that is
to say, this can be seen in, to put
in another way
• To sum up the points
so, in the end (provide last details)
to end, in short, after all, in (capsulize previous statement)
summary, all in all
(end a presentation)
