TASK 44. (a) Study the following Grammatical Note related to the Absolute Participial Construction frequently used in formal English and analyze the examples given below:
Grammatical Note
The Nominative Absolute Participial Construction (самостоятельный причастный оборот) is often used in modern English legal context. It is a construction in which the participle has the “subject” of its own. This “subject” is not the subject of the sentence. Though formally independent of the sentence the Absolute Participial Construction is a logical adverbial modifier of time, cause, condition and is rendered in Russian by means of an adverbial clause (with the conjunctions ‘так как’, ‘хотя’, ‘когда’, ‘после того, как’).
