Recently non-projective structures have been widely studied across different languages. Non-projective constructions are common in natural languages, particularly frequent in morphologically rich languages with relatively free word-order like Czech. This paper investigates the issues of non-projective constructions in Czech. It illustrates several types of these constructions in Czech and discusses the factors and specific features causing deviations from projectivity such as motivation for these constructions. Movement of contrastive Topic to the initial position can be supposed that the flexible word order in Czech can be a decisive factor to require a non-projective left-moved node to be contrastive: it generally moves to the initial surface word-order position in the clause.
