Sentence connectors (Between-sentence) Conjunctions (Within-sentence) Subordinators (Phrase linkers) Prepositions However,... Nevertheless,... Nonetheless,...  On the other hand,... In contrast,... Conversely,... On the contrary,...  Alternatively,...  Instead,... but yet nor  albeit  Although..., ... (even) though..., ... While..., ... Whereas..., ... In contrast to + noun, ... Contrary to..., ... Unlike..., ... Despite..., ... In spite of..., ... Notwithstanding..., ... Instead of..., ... HOWEVER (kuitenkin) "However"  is the most common of the contrastive sentence connectors and can serve two different fuctions. It can 1. introduce conflict or a problem that contrasts with the situation, facts or viewpoints presented in earlier sentences, or 2. signal that the contrast introduced in the second sentence is somehow surprising or unexpected in light of what was said in the first sentence. INTRODUCING A PROBLEM:  By far, the most important use of "however"  is to introduce a problem in a Situation-Problem-Solution pattern. In this pattern, the writer begins by describing the "good" or positive side (benefits, advantages) of the present situation, and then goes on to present the problems (drawbacks, disadvantages). This positive-to-negative ordering is the mirror opposite of that used with  "nevertheless" . The Situation- Problem-Solution pattern forms the basis for structuring abstracts and introduction sections in research articles. This is an important function in academic writing, where writers are attempting to justify their choice of research topic. Situation ( + ) Problem ( - ) Sampling techniques developed for attribute inspection have traditionally been designed on the basis of perfect human inspection. However, studies in human factors have shown that human inspection is not error free. Earlier research ( + ) Criticism ( - )
