Grammatical signals or expressions are writing devices that serve to maintain text
coherence or unity of ideas. They signal relationship between sentences. They can be
words or phrases that connect ideas of sentences and paragraphs for coherence. They
also indicate building up new idea or thought or compare ideas or draw conclusions.
Grammatical signals or expressions are used in idea development for each pattern,
namely: 1. general to particular 2. claim and counterclaim 3. Cause and effect
In this Lesson , we are going to focus only in developing ideas following the
general-to specific pattern
Question: When we say general to specific pattern what do you think is the flow or the
organizaton of idea in a sentence or paragraph?
B. I can play quite a few musical instruments, such as the flute, the guitar, and the
piano.
“Notice that both sentences have the same idea. However, we can say that the
second sentence is more specific than the first sentence. This is because the
second sentence contains supporting details and uses the grammatical signal such
as to connect the general idea “I can play quite a few musical instruments” with the
supporting details “the flute, the guitar, and the piano.”
