This paper analyses the concessive connectives \u2013 like, for example, \u201c\u41a\u443\u434\u430 \u431\u44b \u442\u435\u431\u44f \u43d\u438 \u437\u430\u43d\u435\u441\u43b\u43e/\u433\u434\u435 \u431\u44b \u43e\u43d\u430 \u43d\u438 \u431\u44b\u43b\u430\u2026\u201d \u2013 introducing universal concessive conditional clauses from the point of view of Construction Grammar. The analysis aims to account for the lexical, morphosyntactic and semantic-pragmatic conditions to be realized in order to show the phrasematic nature of this group of conjunctions. In doing so we address the role of the expletive negation in this construction, which is of crosslinguistic relevance. The advantage of the constructionist approach consists in the possibility o...
