Verbindingswoorden / Transition words 

Verbindingswoorden geven het verband aan tussen (delen van) zinnen en tussen alinea’s. Ze geven belangrijke informatie over de opbouw van een tekst of tekstgedeelte. Zo kunnen verbindingswoorden bijvoorbeeld een opsomming aankondigen of duidelijk maken dat er sprake is van een reden of een verklaring. 

As a "part of speech" transition words are used to link words, phrases or sentences.  The help the reader to progress from one idea (expressed by the author) to the next one. Thus they help to build up coherent relationships in the text.

Let er dus goed op, want bij het beantwoorden van vragen bij een tekst zijn verbindingswoorden een belangrijk hulpmiddel.
