Description The study deals with the assumed synonymy of the concessive complementizers ačkoli, i když and přestože. Based on a search of Czech grammars, we have proposed seven factors that can be described by using corpus methods. We use the widest possible range of corpora – spoken and written, formal and informal; namely, corpora syn, oral and online_now. The paper focuses primarily on the qualitative description of random samples, limiting quantitative observation to the description of tendencies. The concessive complementizers behave consistently from the semantic point of view (they express the so-called pure concession), all allow indicative and conditional, and furthermore, subordinate clauses can be multiplied. On the contrary, we see differences mainly in the preferred sentential position (A: balanced, IK: postposition, P: anteposition), but also in the following factors: only by IK, there are non-verbal complements possible (esp. ellipse of the copula), and they do not all allow the modifier i (A: agrammatical, P: grammatical, IK: the modifier is an integral part of the connector).
