linkers

Fragment-joining sequences

Linkers are words or phrases that connect ideas in speech or writing—transitional expressions like *however*, *therefore*, *in addition*, and *on the other hand*.

In programming, a linker is software that combines compiled code modules into a single executable program.

The term also applies to anything that connects: The highway serves as a linker between the two cities.
