to sequence ideas, e.g. firstly, secondly, finally, first of all, next, lastly;

to express contrast, e.g. but, however, nevertheless, yet, in spite of, as distinct from;

to state results, e.g. thus, as a result, consequently, therefore, hence;

to provide reasons, e.g. in order to…, so as not to…, so that…, the reason for this is…;

to add further support, e.g. besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition;

to generalize the above said, e.g. in brief, in a word, generally speaking;

to express similarity, e.g. similarly, likewise, in the same way, on analogy.

Some coheremes of immediate linear joining are directly correlated with their counterparts among structural-compositional rhetorical patterns, the former serving as means of lexical cohesion, the latter used as traditional formulae of scientific speech, e.g. we shall begin by saying that…; another point to be made is…; from this we can conclude that…; it is a matter of common observation that… .
The sum total of coheremes of immediate linear joining expressed both by guide words and guide word-groups forms the logico-semantic network of a scientific text, which ensures proper and complete comprehension of the scientific information conveyed.
As for coheremes of deictic character, they are closely connected with the process of secondary nomination of something mentioned in the previous part of a scientific text.
The nomenclature of deictic coheremes is presented by:

1. 
   some guide words and guide word-groups, which in a compressed form, correlate the above said (i.e. the antecedent) with its secondary designation, e.g. the former, the latter, the above-mentioned, the above example, etc.
   
2. 
   nouns of broad semantics, which in a generalized form, refer the reader to the antecedent which they replace, among them the nouns: thing, problem, picture, phenomenon, practice, theory, procedure, case, question, approach, etc., e.g. This is not merely a question of…, but…, as long as this legal theory is maintained, there seems to be little difficulty in maintaining the distinction between the two approaches to the problem in question.
   

The characteristic features of the language of science described above do not cover all the peculiarities of the functional style of scientific prose, but they are the most essential ones.
