在文章写作中我们都会使用一些过渡词用于提示前后意思之间的联系。这些连接将文章的各个部分有机联系起来，自然而然的由上文转入下文，这就是过渡词，简单来说，过渡词展示了文本或口语的两个部分之间的关系。它们就像是文章中文的桥梁，我们可以看到这些词如何将我们从一个陈述带到另一个陈述。
过渡可以帮助读者理解，段落如何协同工作、相互引用以及构建更大的观点，而不是将段落视为单独的想法。产生良好过渡的关键是突出相应段落之间的联系。通过在一个段落中引用前几段的相关材料，作者可以为他们的读者提出重要的观点。

它们是帮助读者理解论文发展的思路。过渡手段是帮助将一个句子转移到另一个，将一个观点转移到到另一个观点，或从一个段落到另一个段落的单词或短语。最后，过渡词将句子和段落平滑地连接在一起，这样观点之间就不会出现突然的跳跃或中断。
有几种类型的过渡词，每个类别都会引导读者做出某些联系或假设。有些引导读者前进并暗示建立一个观念，而另一些则使读者比较各观点或从前面的观点中得出结论。
