Being a secondary part of sentence richly expressed in written texts and occurring in a wide range of contexts, the Predicative Adjunct has long been in the linguists’attention. A unanimously accepted fact is that it has a derivational history, being conditioned by the verb and implied in a double subordination type of relation.

From the multiple parts of speech it can be represented by, our study focuses mainly on two prepositional contexts, cu/ fără + Noun, offering a detailed description of their use in literary texts and discussing the possible confusions generated in different contexts. The examples chosen were excerpted from both poetic and narrative texts, demonstrating that the Predicative Adjunct entails various stylistic effects
