Summary/Abstract: The article provides an analysis of the Komi phrase та вылö видзöдтöг ’regardless of this, in spite of this, however’ which serves as a sentential and textual connec­tive element. The construction is considered a borrowing (pattern replication) from Russian. Its analysis is an outcome of research on Komi concessive construc­tions. In the center of attention are the syntactic positions, the functions and semantics of the construction in question.
