This work studies the grammaticalization process of the counter-argumen-tative connector noresmenys from its origin as a quantifying adverb to the current valueof concessive discourse marker, from the 13th to the 18th century. Within the frame-work of Cognitive Grammar, especially of Grammaticalization Theory and of the latestcontributions around Construction Grammar, we explain the evolution of the conces-sive connector, paying special attention to the Theory of Argumentation and thedynamics of the Theory of Intersubjectification. With a vision of language and languagechange rooted in use, in this case, metadiscursive use, we carry out a revision of theconceptual sources and values of noresmenys documented in legal, administrative, episto-lary and religious Catalan texts
