O pochodzeniu spójnika przyzwalającego aczkolwiek
On the origins of the concessive conjunction aczkolwiek

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to answer the question why the concessive conjunction aczkolwiek (from Old Pol. acz ‘if; though’) looks like an indefinite pronoun, e.g. cokolwiek ‘whatever’. In other words, what do condi­ tion, concession, and indefiniteness have in common? Universal concessive conditionals that combine some features of conditional and concessive sentences were used as the starting point.
