Contrast / Concession
whereas – to contrast two facts
“A increases with time, whereas B remains constant.”
although – to acknowledge an exception or contrast
“Although the method is efficient, it lacks robustness.”
nevertheless – introduces a counterpoint
“The system is unstable; nevertheless, the controller performs well.”
nonetheless – similar to “nevertheless” but slightly more formal
“This assumption is idealized; nonetheless, it simplifies analysis.”
in contrast – to highlight difference explicitly
“In contrast to classical methods, this approach uses quaternion algebra.”
Cause / Effect
hence – “for this reason”; direct and compact
“The oscillator exhibits sensitivity to initial conditions, hence chaotic.”
therefore – slightly more formal than “so”
“The signal lacks periodicity; therefore, Fourier analysis is insufficient.”
consequently – emphasizes sequential causality
“The sampling was irregular; consequently, standard DFT methods fail.”
Addition / Elaboration
moreover – adds emphasis or an additional point
“The approach is accurate; moreover, it is computationally efficient.”
furthermore – adds another layer, often more formal than “also”
“The algorithm is robust. Furthermore, it generalizes well.”
in addition – standard way to expand an argument
“In addition to accuracy, interpretability is considered.”
likewise – introduces a parallel idea or result
“Method A improves performance. Likewise, Method B reduces complexity.”
Clarification / Emphasis
notably – draws attention to a significant detail
“Notably, the system retains stability despite parameter drift.”
in particular – narrows focus to a specific case
“Several features are examined. In particular, phase symmetry is critical.”
indeed – emphasizes agreement or confirmation
“The observed trend matches the theoretical prediction. Indeed, the correlation is high.”
