Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a semantic, formal and functional description of the exceptive, concessive, temporal, relative and modal constructions that include distinct syntactic positions. From the heterogeneous character of this type of circumstance construction, corresponding to the surface structure follows the difficulty and often the confusion of its grammatical analysis. The comparative constructions make up a special paragraph through the recording as a peculiarity of the semantic and functional relation defined stylistically by means of the comparison. Among the existing types, the comparison "image" and the comparison “paradigm” impose themselves as object of research. Without pretending to be a pioneer in the grammatical analysis of these constructions, I present the (scientific) solutions relevant to the morphological and syntactical structure of the present-day Romanian language.
