Streszczenie
This study aims at accounting for one of the properties of circumstantial complements which has been unjustly neglected in linguistic studies, i.e. their capacity to be thematized as subjects of a main verb. This reconfi guration mobilizes a certain number of appropriate verbs which cannot be described without reference to this phenomenon. The article then focuses on complements of place, time, cause, goal, condition, concession as well as on certain qualitative constructions.
