Syntactic coordination reports, in this case the adversative one, do not lack comments. The problem is that grammars, which treat the subject completely and as succinctly as possible, are characterized by some features, which do not facilitate precise syntactic analysis. The main inadvertences refer to the following: some aspects are omitted for various reasons, others are treated on different topics, which makes it difficult to assimilate the material, there are cases when some problems related to the adversarial report are not explained sufficiently and, last but not least, the variety of interpretations. The current article debates all these particularities of presenting the adversarial coordination report. The novelty consists in the fact that the multiple aspects of the adversarial report and the means of rendering it are gathered in a single presentation. In addition, the article is illustrated with numerous examples, excerpted from current literary works.
