Summary/Abstract: By creating syntactic analysis of the Lithuanian language revealed a new phenomenon, which has not been previously discussed in literature. If there are two words in a sentence governing the same case and that case stands in-between them, which of the words will form a word phrase with the governed case and which of them will remain unexpanded? The article describes the syntactic pull of the participle, the noun and the infinitive; comparisons of the cases identified and the equivalents from other languages are provided. The term of syntactic pull of words is defined as well.
