LIST OF CONNECTIVES.

+Remark+.—Some of the connectives below are conjunctions proper; some are relative pronouns; and some are adverbs or adverb phrases, which, in addition to their office as modifiers, may, in the absence of the conjunction, take its office upon themselves, and connect the clauses.

CO-ORDINATE CONNECTIVES.

+_Copulative_+.—_And, both…and, as well as_, [Footnote: The as well as in “He, as well as I, went”; and not that in “He is as well as I am.”] are conjunctions proper. Accordingly, also, besides, consequently, furthermore, hence, likewise, moreover, now, so, then, and therefore are conjunctive adverbs.

+_Adversative_+.—_But_ and whereas are conjunctions proper. However, nevertheless, notwithstanding, on the contrary, on the other hand, still, and yet are conjunctive adverbs.

+_Alternative_+.—_Neither, nor, or, either… or_, and neither…nor are conjunctions proper. Else and otherwise are conjunctive adverbs.

SUBORDINATE CONNECTIVES.

Connectives of Adjective Clauses.

That, what, whatever, which, whichever, who, and whoever are relative pronouns. When, where, whereby, wherein, and why are conjunctive adverbs.

Connectives of Adverb Clauses.

Time.—_After, as, before, ere, since, till, until, when, whenever, while_, and whilst are conjunctive adverbs.

Place.—_Whence, where_, and wherever are conjunctive adverbs.

Degree.—_As, than, that_, and the are conjunctive adverbs, correlative, with adjectives or adverbs.

Manner.—_As_ is a conjunctive adverb, correlative often with an adjective or an adverb.

Real Cause.—_As, because, for, since_, and whereas are conjunctions proper.

Reason.—_Because, for_, and since are conjunctions proper.

Purpose.—_In order that, lest_ (=_that not_) that, and so that are conjunctions proper.

Condition.—_Except, if, in case that, on condition that, provided, provided that_, and unless are conjunctions proper.

Concession.—_Although, if_ (=_even if_), notwithstanding, though, and whether are conjunctions proper. However is a conjunctive adverb. Whatever, whichever, and whoever are relative pronouns used indefinitely.

+Connectives of Noun Clauses+.

If, lest, that, and whether are conjunctions proper. What, which, and who are pronouns introducing questions; how, when, whence, where, and why are conjunctive adverbs.

 

ABBREVIATIONS.

+Remarks+.—Few abbreviations are allowable in ordinary composition. They are very convenient in writing lists of articles, in scientific works, and wherever certain terms frequently occur.

Titles prefixed to proper names are generally abbreviated, except in addressing an officer of high rank. Titles that immediately follow names are almost always abbreviated.

Names of women are not generally abbreviated except by using an initial for one of two Christian names.

Abbreviations that shorten only by one letter are unnecessary; as, Jul. for “July,” Jno. for “John,” da. for “day,” etc.

1st, 2_d_, 3_d_, 4_th_, etc., are not followed by the period. They are not treated as abbreviations.
