Transitions which introduce a new idea are called additive transitions.
<em>Additive</em> is the adjective form of the noun <em>addition</em>, which comes from Latin <em>additio</em>: <em>addere</em> (add) + the suffix <em>-tio</em> (the act of).
By using additive tansitions, you can either put in new elements which strenghten, specify, or continue your argument, or you can present entirely new ideas.
Examples include:
- <em>similarly </em>or <em>likewise</em> to introduce a comparable element;
- <em>what's more</em>, <em>besides</em>, <em>in addition</em>, <em>moreover</em>, or <em>furthermore </em>to introduce a different piece of information going in the same direction as your point;
- <em>namely </em>or <em>specifically </em>to introduce a precision regarding something you've already stated.
