The Language of the Internet – The Use of Concessive Conjunctions in Blogs by Companies Providing Private Tuition

Concessions are said to be a key aspect of English semantics because\nconcessive constructions create a place for contrast, i.e. contradicting relations.\nSeveral studies have been carried out on this topic (i.e. on the positioning of\nconjunctions, linguistic interference, etc.). The aim of this paper is to focus on\nthe frequency of use of the most common concessive conjunctions in Internet discussions with native speakers who give private tuition. The focus is\nprimarily on the main, most commonly used concessive conjunctions in\ntutoring blogs.
