Summary/Abstract: The study defines the categorial framework for the analysis of so-called dislocated structures in contrastive perspective. First, it describes the systemic possibilities of the French and Czech syntaxes in relation to the phenomena studied. The syntactical potential is assessed from a functional point of view, making it possible to explain differences in the use of systemically possible structures in the two languages. The evaluation of systemic possibilities is complemented by a parallel corpus analysis performed in the InterCorp corpus. The study does not include all cases classified as dislocation (extraposition) in the specialized literature, as it focuses primarily on the left-hand extraposition of selected valency verb complements.
