I looked at your other questions and I think your question here relates to linking within language teaching? Linking is a feature of connected spoken discourse ... a good example is vous allez in French which is spoken as vou zallez (the final consonant sound of vous ... links to the next word) It is similar to assimilation, which is when sounds get left out in a stream of sound e.g. I should have >>> I shoulda (the /v/ sound disappears -- that is assimilation) This is part of intonation awareness and teaching listening. I have a package of materials on this if you want a copy, and a very good book is: Academic Listening Strategies by Julia Salehzadh

If you are talking about sentence structure, 'linking' is done with little words like these: and but so because

Linking means connecting things, places or ideas. I am linking my computer to the internet so I can use italki.
