From a functional perspective, focus words present “multiple categorial selection” because they affect different kinds of phrases. ‘Aun’ can appear before subordinate clauses preceded by conjunctions, or before non-finite clauses. Concessive constructions belong to different types of subordinate clauses that, although they share features of meaning, possess distinctive semantic and syntactic characteristics (Mazzoleni, 1992). ´Contrast´ is the feature that unifies the different types of concessive constructions. One type of concessive construction is characterized by the direct opposition between two events, the most important of which is the second. However, there are concessive constructions in which the events are not in direct contrast to each other, but rather are in an indirect one. We will describe the structural, lexical-semantic and contextual particularities of this type of constructions with aun-que, which presents no direct contrast between events. Within this group, we focus on epistemic and ilocutive concessive (Kovacci, 1992, RAE-ASALE, 2010).
