THE CONCEPT OF "CONCESSION" IN ENGLISH LINGUISTICS

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the linguistic and cognitive aspects of the concept of "concession" in linguistics. The study explores how concessive units are structured, employed, and understood within the realm of language, delving into both linguistic analysis and cognitive processing. Through an in-depth investigation, this paper sheds light on the linguistic devices utilized to express concessions, as well as the cognitive mechanisms involved in processing and interpreting such linguistic units. The analysis draws on various linguistic theories and cognitive models to offer a holistic understanding of concessions, their functions, and their impact on communication.
