In this paper, a semantic account of the use of the connective although is used in constructing the representations of the meaning of co~cessive connections. Although concession is integra~ed into a version of Discourse RepresentatIOn Theory (DRT) by extendmg the relevant Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs). Two types of although concession are distinguished with the help of (I) a speaker/author assumption; (2) differences in quantification related to these assumptions; and (3) the semantic relations between the connected propositions (p, q). The speaker/author assumption is embodied in the Discourse Representation Structure representing the concessive connection. In the first type of although concession, information about the speaker's (social, natural, etc.) environment is encoded at the intermediate level of analysis into Discourse Representation Structures. In the second type, the speaker's implicit (positive or negative) evaluation of the conjuncts of the connection is computed with reference to the speaker/author assumption. Although concession seems to favor a modification of the character of the intermediate level of analysis. Following Kamp (1984), pragmatic information must be incorporated into the representation in order for the processing of although concession to be adequate.
