What is a linker in grammar?

The term "linker" is not a standard term in formal grammar. It's more of a general term used in casual language to describe words or phrases that connect different parts of a sentence or text.

However, there are specific grammatical terms that often function as linkers:

* Conjunctions: These words connect words, phrases, or clauses. Examples: and, but, or, so, because, although, while.

* Prepositions: These words show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Examples: on, in, at, to, from, with, by.

* Relative pronouns: These pronouns introduce relative clauses, which provide additional information about a noun or pronoun. Examples: who, whom, whose, which, that.

* Transitional phrases: These phrases link ideas between sentences or paragraphs. Examples: in addition, for example, on the other hand, as a result.

It's important to remember that the specific function of a linker can vary depending on the context. For example, the word "and" can be used to connect two words, two phrases, or two clauses.
