Summary/Abstract: The final clause is often related to the causal clause and the clause of effect. For that reason, the author of the present paper points to individual features of that relation, placing an emphasis on the presence of the causal meaning and the way it is manifested in the context of the complex clause featuring the final clause as subordinate. In the case it is explicitly expressed in the form of the subordinate causal clause, that the meaning, which is actually implied in the given context, triggers a transformation of the final clause into a structure, i.e. the object clause, in which the meaning featuring ‘aim’ and ‘intention’ is also present.
