connective (adj./n.) (cn, conn)

A term used in the GRAMMATICAL classification of WORDS to characterize words or MORPHEMES whose function is primarily to link LINGUISTIC UNITS at any LEVEL. CONJUNCTIONS are the most obvious types (e.g. and, or, while, because), but several types of ADVERB can be seen as connective (‘conjuncts’ such as therefore, however, nevertheless), as can some VERBS (the COPULAS be, seem, etc.). One type of EXOCENTRIC construction is also referred to as ‘connective’, e.g. was happy, stayed quiet, where the first element is the connector, and the second a predicative ATTRIBUTE.
