§11. The Subjective Participial Construction. The Subjective Participial Construction is a construction in which the participle (mostly Participle l) is in predicate relation to a noun in the common case or a pronoun in the nominative case, which is the subject of the sentence.
In rendering this construction in Russian a complex sentence is generally used; the principal clause is of the type which in Russian syntax is called 'indefinite personal' (неопределенно-личное предложение).
The peculiarity of this construction is that it does not serve as one part of the sentence: one of its component parts has the function of the subject, the other forms part of a compound verbal predicate.
This construction is chiefly used after verbs of sense perception.
A minute later he was seen engaged in a lively conversation.
Минуту спустя его видели уже оживленно беседующим.
The carriage was heard rolling up the gravel-walk. (Ch.Bronte)
Слышно было, как экипаж подъезжает по дорожке, посыпанной гравием.
In this construction the relation between the carriage and rolling up is that of secondary subject and secondary predicate. The whole construction the carriage... rolling up is the complex subject to the predicate was heard.
§12. The Nominative Absolute Participial Construction.
The Nominative Absolute Participial Construction is a construction in which the participle stands in predicate relation to a noun in the common case or a pronoun in the nominative case.
... My eyes being very heavy, I lay down again and slept. (Dickens)
... Так как глаза мои закрывались, я снова лег и уснул.
Although the Nominative Absolute Participial Construction is formally independent of the sentence, it is logically connected with it, serving as an adverbial modifier to the predicate.
This construction is chiefly used in literary style.
In the Nominative Absolute Participial Construction Participle I (in all its forms) or Participle II is used. This construction is generally rendered in Russian by means of an adverbial clause. It is used in the function of an adverbial modifier. It can be an adverbial modifier:
a) of time.
This being done, they set off with light hearts. (Irving)
Когда с этим было покончено, они отправились в путь с легким сердцем.
b) of cause.
Martin had to carry his water from the kitchen, there being no tap in the room. (London)
Мартину пришлось нести воду из кухни, так как в комнате не было крана.
It being now pretty late, we took our candles and went up-
stairs. (Dickens)
Так как было довольно поздно, мы взяли свечи и пошли наверх.
с) of attendant circumstances.
In this function the Nominative Absolute Participial Construction is mostly placed at the end of the sentence. In rendering it in Russian a coordinate clause оr деепричастный оборот is used.
Andrew lay with closed eyes, his head resting near her. (Cronin)
Эндрю лежал с закрытыми глазами, голова его покоилась рядом с нею.
d) of condition (rare).
In this function the Nominative Absolute Participial Construction is almost exclusively used with the participles permitting and failing,
Weather (time, circumstances) permitting, we shall start tomorrow. Если погода (время, обстоятельства) позволит, мы поедем завтра.
Conciliation failing, force remains; but force failing, no further hope of conciliation is left.
Если не удается достигнуть примирения, приходится применить силу; но если сила не помогает, не остается никакой надежды на примирение.
The Nominative Absolute Participial Construction very often occurs in fiction and scientific literature; the use of this construction in colloquial English is rare.
§ 13. The Prepositional Absolute Participial Construction. The Absolute Participial Construction may be introduced by the preposition with and is then called the Prepositional Absolute Participial Construction. It is in most cases used in the function of an adverbial modifier of attendant circumstances.
This construction is rendered in Russian by a coordinate clause or деепричастный оборот.
They were walking on again, with Hugh calmly drawing at his pipe. (Lindsay)
Они снова шли вперед; Хью спокойно покуривал свою трубку.
The daughter sat quite silent and still, with her eyes fixed on the ground. (Dickens)
