Depending on the rhematic focus, the prepositional “though and щхьэк1э”, which carry a greater rhematic load in comparison with the consequence, may come first, or, on the contrary, the consequence becomes the center of the rhematic focus, and then utterances with postpositional “though and щхьэк1э”, which are to some extent optional and come first. The prepositional “though and щхьэк1э” have an implicit consequence, while the postpositional “though and щхьэк1э” themselves turn out to be in a certain sense inferential, that is, optional. In strong anaphoric contexts, persons, objects, and events, one way or another, are part of the utterance with “though and щхьэк1э”, while they play a constructive role in this utterance, i.e. in these utterances they become the point of intersection of concessive-adversative relations. Thus, “though and щхьэк1э” functioned in this context as a concessive conjunction or adverb. This means that the prepositive “though or щхьэк1э” is in opposition to the conjunctive adverbs with an adversative meaning, and it is important to note that these adversative conjunctions express a contradictory meaning, but not a contrary one. That is why these meanings are expressed by the corresponding set of conjunctive adverbs, each of which has a specific meaning.
