Summary/Abstract: This paper presents some of the options available in Italian and Russian to express a preconcessive construction, typically formed by a paratactic correlative structure coding a contrast between the connected textual elements. Data were obtained from the Italian- Russian parallel corpus of the Russian National Corpus (NKRJa), by looking for the Russian translation of some typical Italian pre-concessive connectives.
