the conjunction "albeit"

[jirikoo]

hi there,

I still cannot categorize this conjunction.

It's similar to even though, yet even though is a subordinating conjunction in adverbial clauses, and albeit behaves quite strangely and dissimilarly.

What kinds of conjunctions would you categorize this into?


As in: He tried, albeit without success.

As a disjunctive operator with a stripped sentence.

you mean the coordinating conjunction? You see, the term you stated does not exist in english linguistics...

If you think so, could you send me a reference link

thank you for your input

That is a mouthful. :-D

He tried, albeit (he tried) without success.

In what respect does this behave differently from a subordinator?

say, do subordinators not connect main clause with their subordinate / dependent clauses? The punctuation is also different in adverbial clauses with subordinators.

just wondering...

can you elaborate on that a bit?

They do. What is your point?

The punctuation is also different in adverbial clauses with subordinators.

Give me just one example, please. Are you not saying that 'albeit' is different from adverbial conjuncts, like 'however'?
