This work investigates the sentences of the spoken Spanish introduced by aunque, connector that, according to the grammatical compendiums, can indicate a concessive or adversative relation in Spanish language. From the perspective of the functional discourse grammar theory (Hengeveld & Mackenzie, 2008), we intend to investigate how the phenomenon of semantic overlap between concession and adversity is conceived and, in a specific way, to investigate in which levels and layers of the model this overlap occurs. The results show that the dubious cases postulated by the traditional perspective occur in the interpersonal domain, when they constitute rhetorical functions and interactional functions. Keywords: spoken peninsular spanish; functional discourse grammar; concession; adversity, aunque. Este trabalho investiga as oracoes do espanhol falado introduzidas por aunque, juntor que, de acordo com os compendios gramaticais, na lingua espanhola, pode assinalar uma relacao concessiva ou adversativa. Sob a perspectiva da teoria da gramatica discursivo-funcional (Hengeveld & Mackenzie, 2008), pretende-se averiguar como o fenomeno da sobreposicao semantica entre concessao e adversidade e concebido e, de maneira especifica, investigar em quais niveis e camadas do modelo essa sobreposicao ocorre. Os resultados mostram que os casos duvidosos postulados pela perspectiva tradicional se dao no dominio interpessoal, quando constituem funcoes retoricas e funcoes interacionais.
