Summary/Abstract: In the article I describe certain elements of the thematic dictum of the adverb {niechcący} [unwillingly] (used in the unstressed position before predicate), i.e. those that present semantic restrictions on the verb qualified by that adverb. So, what x did {niechcący} [unwillingly] (q), doing (intentionally) something else (p), is such that: 1) at the time t (of the action p) x could (was able to) think that by doing p x can cause q (component [a]), but x must not have been convinced of it [b]; 2) at the time t x c o u l d want o r not want q [a’], but the speaker had reasons to think that x would rather n o t want q [c].
