Senior Lecturer, Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, Faculty of Letters Transilvania University, Brașov, Romania alice_bodoc@unitbv.ro Abstract The present paper presents some important aspects concerning the syntactic configuration of Romanian, Italian, and French clausal adjuncts, as they appear in the articles from the present- day media. I have chosen two international magazines and three representative daily newspapers for each of the three languages. The elements investigated in this paper relate to the syntax- information structure interface, such as scrambling, interpolation, left dislocations, and these are going to be discussed, by comparison, for the complex sentences with temporal and causal adjuncts. Although there are authors arguing that French has a fixed word order (Manoliu, 2011, pp. 505-507, among others) or that “pro-drop languages” (Romanian and Italian) behave differently than “non-pro-drop” language (French) as concerns the relationship between
