Textual joint и это при том, что

The article offers an interpretation of a syntactic joint И это при том, что, based on the concept of an accommodating construction and some of M. I. Cheremisina’s ideas, particularly her key concept of a textual joint. The article presents information regarding accommodating constructions, monosubject constructions and communicative ‘weight’ of a proposition. The analysis involves the materials from the National Corpus of the Russian Language, media texts, as well as grammatical descriptions and dictionaries. On the basis of this analysis, the author concludes that the Russian syntax contains paradigms of concessive markers, the highest position of which is taken by the analyzed syntactic joint.
