sammanställningsord

A sammanställningsord is a Swedish grammatical term that refers to a word or phrase that summarizes or brings together a preceding list of items or concepts. It functions as a collective term, providing a concluding overview. These words are used to condense information and offer a sense of closure to a series of statements or examples.

Common examples of sammanställningsord include words like "allt" (everything), "ingenting" (nothing), "något" (something), "dessa" (these), "därför" (therefore), "således" (thus), and "sammanfattningsvis" (in summary). They can appear at the end of a sentence or clause, or sometimes at the beginning of a new one to refer back to what has just been said.

The purpose of a sammanställningsord is to create cohesion within a text by linking related ideas. It helps the reader to easily grasp the main point or the overall implication of a preceding enumeration. For instance, after listing several reasons for a decision, a sammanställningsord like "därför" can clearly indicate that the subsequent statement is a consequence of those reasons. Understanding and using sammanställningsord is important for constructing clear and well-organized sentences in Swedish, facilitating effective communication.
