LessonsCases of Faṣl: Clause Relations, Complete Disjunction and Complete ConnectionQuiz

One major form of complete connection is a second clause that strengthens the first proposition so closely that it functions as reinforcement. Since the semantic unity is already obvious, the speaker need not coordinate the clauses.

Reinforcement does not always require verbatim repetition. A general statement may be followed by a more forceful assertion removing a possible doubt. In that case the second clause is an emphatic restatement by meaning rather than by identical wording.
