Text structure 

The linking words serve as signposts in the text. It shows the direction of where the author's ideas are heading. When you see a linking word such as: 'nevertheless' (desalniettemin), 'however' (maar), 'even though' (zelfs als) the author comes up with a contradiction. When a linking word such as: 'furthermore' (verder)  'secondly' (ten tweede), 'moreover'  (bovendien), is used, the author gives extra information.
