Variantes del reconocimiento en la expresión de la concesión oral alemana

Abstract

This article takes for granted several premises. In the first place, oral language is the place where most expressions of concessions are found in comparison to written language. As a result, the structure of the concession shows a syntactic structure of three parts (argument, acknowledgment and counter-argument) instead of a two parts structure (main and subordinate clause/statement); and finally, the most important part of the new concessive structure is the speech act of acknowledgment. Taking into account these facts, we will analyze, with the help of SCHALL corpus, the different structures of the most common utterances in which the act of acknowledgment is present in conversation.
