Advanced connectors at C1 level enable nuanced, elegant argumentation. Unlike basic connectors (aber, weil, deshalb), they convey precise shades of meaning.
Concession: Nichtsdestotrotz (nonetheless) and wenngleich (although) express concession more sophisticatedly than trotzdem. Note that wenngleich sends the conjugated verb to the end of the subordinate clause.
Causality: Zumal (especially since) reinforces the cause; dadurch, dass (by virtue of the fact that) introduces a causal means. Infolgedessen and demzufolge express consequence formally.
Restriction: Insofern als (insofar as) limits the scope of a statement, while sofern (provided that) sets a condition. Geschweige denn (let alone) signals a negative gradation: what follows is even less likely.
These connectors transform B2-level writing into C1 argumentation.
