What are “conjunctive adverbs”?

2013-11-29T17:01:54Z

Jessyjaded:

The purpose of '''conjunctive adverbs''' is to join [[What is the difference between a phrase and a clause?| clauses]], phrases, or ideas. When joining two [[What is an independent clause?| independent clauses]], conjunctive adverbs are performing the same function as [[What are “coordinating conjunctions”?| coordinating conjunctions]]; however, the [[How do you usually punctuate conjunctive adverbs?| rules of punctuation]] are different (Simmons 2013).

Here is a list of common conjunctive adverbs:

[[File:ConjunctiveAdverbs.jpg]]

==The Rules==
The rules of punctuation when using conjunctive adverbs vary depending on the placement and use of the adverb.
See [http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php?title=How_do_you_usually_punctuate_conjunctive_adverbs%3F punctuating conjuctive adverbs]

There are three main variations:
<ul>
<li>If the adverb separates two independent clauses, the structure is as follows: 
Clause1; adverb, clause2. Notice how the clauses are separated with a semicolon instead of a comma.</li>
<li>If the adverb falls anywhere within a single independent clause, the adverb and clause are separated by a comma: 
Adverb, clause. '''''or''''' Beginning of clause, adverb, end of clause. '''''or''''' Clause, adverb ("Using Conjunctive Adverbs" 2012).</li>
<li>If the adverb creates a weak interruption within a sentence, no commas are necessary (Simmons 2013).</li>
</ul>

==Usage==
Here are some examples of each variation that correspond with the bullets in the above section:
'''Ex.''' Alice accepted Robert's invitation to the prom; ''subsequently'', she spent the rest of her day thinking about what to wear.

'''Ex.''' ''Conversely'', Robert could focus on nothing with so many thoughts running through his mind.

'''Ex.''' When the prom came, everything was perfect. Robert and Alice could ''finally'' enjoy their time together.

== Examples of Using Conjunctive Adverbs with Punctuation ==
'''How to punctuate conjunctive adverbs:'''

When a conjunctive adverb connects two [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/598/01/ independent clauses] in one sentence, it is followed by a semicolon and then usually a comma.

'''Example:'''
Alice read her book; therefore, she was able to go to the party.

As you can see, semi-colon is put after book, and because therefore is the adverb, we follow it with a comma.

Due to budget cuts, critics on rotten tomatoes may lose their jobs; consequently, their finances may fall apart.

If a conjunctive adverb is used in any other position in a sentence, it is set off by commas.

'''Example:'''
Meanwhile, Alice continues to read Science Fiction while soaking her feet in the bath.

Bruce Springstien, however, maintains a huge smile as he walks through the vacant house.

The adverbs used here are meanwhile and however: when used properly, they are almost always followed by a comma.

How do I write on a wiki?

Jessyjaded: added a few links, referencing corrected with help, yay

In order to write on a wiki you must first decide what features you want for your wiki, or for writing '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article your first article]''' for a wiki.
Writing a wiki requires research.
Make the information on your wiki clear so visitors can easily view and contribute to it.
When working on a wiki there are a ''[http://wikiineducation.com/ few things to consider]''' as well as guidelines that should be followed.
One tip that should always be remembered is to keep it short.
Writers should also use active voice, and avoid passive voice except in subjects they aren't familiar with.
To better engage your vocabulary in your post, try using strong verbs. Always remember to cite your sources, and give credit to where you got your information.
A writer can also link readers to other, more detailed, supporting information with hyper-linking. This type of link sends readers directly to your supporting pages.
Make your post interesting by using lists, bold headings, and block quotes. '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_%22Ignore_all_rules%22_means#Use_common_sense Use common sense]''' when composing your entry.

'''Make sure your resources are from credible sources'''. These will include '''books''', '''articles''' or '''encyclopedia(s)'''.

== Outline ==
When finding the main points you would like to make from your research, create an outline.

[http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_are_%E2%80%9Cconjunctive_adverbs%E2%80%9D%3F Conjunctive adverbs] are adverbs that act as conjunctions to link two independent clauses together. Unlike traditional conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs usually require particular punctuation.

== Semicolon and Comma ==

When the conjunctive adverb links two independent clauses, the conjunctive adverb is preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. The semicolon links the two clauses, and the comma separates the conjunction from the second independent clause. For example:

: It rained; consequently, we saw many puddles while we walked.

: Her grandmother died; now, she does not want to go to the dance.

The two sentences stand alone, but the conjunctive adverb helps to demonstrate the relationship between the clauses.

== Em dash or Period ==
A conjunctive adverb can still link two clauses if an em dash (—), a long hyphen, or period is used, with either mark taking the place of the semicolon to separate the independent clauses. For example:

: It rained— consequently, we saw many puddles while we walked.
: Her grandmother died. Now, she does not want to go to the dance.

== Common Conjunctive Adverbs ==

accordingly, furthermore, moreover, similarly,
also, hence, namely, still,
anyway, however, nevertheless, then,
besides, incidentally, next, thereafter,
certainly, indeed, nonetheless, therefore,
consequently, instead, now, thus,
finally, likewise, otherwise, undoubtedly,
further, meanwhile.

'''How to punctuate conjunctive adverbs:'''

When a conjunctive adverb connects two [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/598/01/ independent clauses] in one sentence, it is followed by a semicolon and then usually a comma.

'''Example:''' Alice read her book; therefore, she was able to go to the party.

''As you can see, semi-colon is put after book, and because therefore is the adverb, we follow it with a comma.''

Due to budget cuts, critics on rotten tomatoes may lose their jobs; consequently, their finances may fall apart.

'''If a conjunctive adverb is used in any other position in a sentence, it is set off by commas.'''

''Example:'' Meanwhile, Alice continues to read Science Fiction while soaking her feet in the bath.

Bruce Springstien, however, maintains a huge smile as he walks through the vacant house.

''The adverbs used here are meanwhile and however: when used properly, they are almost always followed by a comma.''

Jessyjaded:

In order to write on a wiki you must first decide what features you want for your wiki, or for writing '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article your first article]''' for a wiki.
Writing a wiki requires research.
Make the information on your wiki clear so visitors can easily view and contribute to it.
When working on a wiki there are a "'[http://wikiineducation.com/ few things to consider]''' as well as guidelines that should be followed.
One tip that should always be remembered is to keep it short.
Writers should also use active voice, and avoid passive voice except in subjects they aren't familiar with.
To better engage your vocabulary in your post, try using strong verbs. Always remember to cite your sources, and give credit to where you got your information.
A writer can also link readers to other, more detailed, supporting information with hyper-linking. This type of link sends readers directly to your supporting pages.
Make your post interesting by using lists, bold headings, and block quotes. '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_%22Ignore_all_rules%22_means#Use_common_sense Use common sense]''' when composing your entry.

==Getting Started==
Know the components of research: Make notes on the things you would like to cover on a wiki.
*'''[http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/How_do_I_go_about_doing_a_research_paper%3F Research]''': 
Keep in mind that research is just that: Re-Search. You must do both, together again and again to impact your scholarship with surrounding sources you find on any subject.
 Find (at least) three sources that agree with where you are going.  Outline the points you would like to make, and step forward with your research. 
'''Make sure your resources are from credible sources'''. These will include '''books''', '''articles''' or '''encyclopedia(s)'''.

== Outline ==
When finding the main points you would like to make from your research, create an outline. An '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Outlines outline]''': is comprised of hierarchal uniform information, from most important to least. An outline produces the points, in a type of order to create organization.

==Creating the Unbiased Voice==
When contributing, make sure before presenting information on a wiki to carefully separate your opinion from the subject.
Wiki's are different to academic research papers, blogs and podcasts in the respect that a wiki is never finished. Get straight to the factual points you wish to make, and jot them down.
Make sense of the points as best you can from your resources, and take out any hint of awkward '''[http://litmuse.mga.edu/litwiki/index.php/What_is_“wordiness”%3F wordiness]'''.
What makes wikipedia credible is that the unbiased voice is crucial. Having an unbiased voice invites others to correct wiki-work and be able to contribute in the same fashion that you have.
Maintaining a wiki is a collaborative effort.
An unbiased viewpoint promotes a reliable viewpoint that invites criticism, which is essential in contributing to a wiki.

==Use the Wiki Mark(ups)==
To not come off as a novice, be sure to use the appropriate format when delivering your information. These are known as
Use correct headlines, "'bold"' when necessary, and link to as many sources as possible to nail in your point more effectively.
It is always a good idea to have a wiki '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet cheatsheat]'''when necessary.
''However'''! It is absolutely necessary to understand how wiki mark(ups) are different from html or css.
This will benefit the likelihood of future posts to wiki.
Careful: When using appropriate mark(ups), be sure to make your wiki article navigable with enough contents to browse.

==Proofread==
Double-check what you have written, use a spell checker, and try reading your work back to yourself to see if it makes sense.

==Cite your sources==
Learn how to cite your sources online.
Contributions are hardly worth reading if credit isn't given where it is due. All information comes from somewhere, inspired or leaked from a beginning source.

A lot of great information. You need to break up the long paragraphs and add a table of contents. The information just needs to broke up in to sections. Bold and add bullets to information. You could add links to the page and put a works cited area for where you got the information. -Dave Burkert

The long paragraphs take away from the information. I do not know for sure, but I don't think we were supposed to use "I".-Amberly Keough

This entry has a huge opening paragraph. I don't think people would want to read it to get the imformation. -D Davis

You need to seperate your first paragraph. You have a lot of good information, but it does not stand out because its all stuck together. I liked how you linked your sources.
-Whitney Behel

Condense information so that the reader can scan for the information that they will benifit from. -Anthony Jones

Paper should have been broken down further to have the important information easy to grasp immediately. There were some grammatical errors, but paper over all had a good tone that was understandable. It is good that there were more than three resources being used. Entry was good it just needs to be revised for the internet a little more.
--[[User:Apitt329|Apitt329]] 13:27, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)

You should not use the word "I". You also need to eliminate the word "though". The word count needs to be shorter to keep the reader's attention. --[[User:Dflowers|Dflowers]] 19:46, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)
