This diploma thesis examines clausal and semi-clausal subjects {--} structures formed either by a finite clause or by an infinitive and gerund. The author uses written contemporary English as the source of data. The main areas of interest are: the frequency of particular structures, the position of these structures in the sentence (initial position or extraposition) and the factors influencing the position of these structures, such as the length and the internal structure of the subject clauses. The first part contains a brief theoretical introduction into the subject and explains the methodology of the work. The second, practical part contains selected excerpts that deserve attention due to their typical or atypical features. The third part presents the results of the research and explains problems encountered during the work.
