concessive construction (cxn)
a.k.a.
the construction that expresses a concessive relation.. Example: Although it was raining, I went out is an instance of a concessive relation and construction: the expected causal relation is that rain would lead to my staying in; but in fact I went out. The speaker has a positive epistemic stance toward the concessive construction. A concessive may express a content, epistemic, or speech act causal relation. (Section 17.3.2)
