分詞構句，S+V…
1. (如果)你向右轉，就會找到銀行了。
If you turn to the right, you will find the bank.
= Turning to the right, you will find the bank.
2. (因為)受到飢餓的驅使，他偷了一塊蛋糕。
As he was driven by hunger, he stile a piece of cake.
= Driven by hunger, he stole a piece of cake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
一開始介紹分詞構句直接以例句填空的方式讓讀者填寫，缺乏介紹分詞構句的語用意義。而例句中的Driven by hunger, 並非普通常用的句子，BNC 中只有兩個queries, 且都不是分詞構具 的用法。
A0L 3845 Yeah, said the voice, just a bloody animal, driven by hunger and sex.
BNU 104 In the mornings they left the calf outside on the roof, under an upturned basket to stop the crows and vultures swooping down to peck out its eyes, and because sometimes, in winter, the jackals are driven by hunger right up to the houses, even in daylight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. 分詞構句，可由副詞子句 簡化而來，其簡化過程為：
1. 先去連接詞
2. 再去主詞 (前後主詞一樣)
3. 動詞改為分詞
[句型] 連接詞+S+V…，S+V…
V-ing (主動/進行) ，S+V…
p.p. (被動/完成) ，S+V…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
形成分詞構句的步驟中，並無順序的考據，先去主詞抑或是先去連接詞其實意義不大。再者，並非所有的連接詞都一定得去除，如：when, if, while …等。雖講義後來有些出連接詞保留的分詞構句，但因編排順序並不連貫，易造成混淆。 且其中的例子也並非常見的句型。如：
If I am invited, I will go to the party.
=If invited, I will go to the party.
於corpus中，此用法只有5個queries,並非很常見的句型。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. 否定之分詞應將Not; Never放在句首：
[例] 因為不知道要做什麼，於是我去請教他。
As I didn’t know what to do, I ask for his advice.
= Not knowing what to do, I asked for his advice.
D. 在分詞構句中，being 及having been 常被省略，只保留p.p. :
[例] 因為被警察看到，他跑走了。
As he was seen by a policeman, he ran away.
= Seen by a policeman, he ran away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
在連接詞被省略後，其語意有些許的差異，如Seen by a policeman, he ran away. 可解釋為After/As he was seen by a policeman, he ran away. 故語意上不一定完全相等。
獨立分詞構句
S1+ 分詞構句、S2+V
[例]沒有公車，所以我必須走路回家。
Because there was no bus, I had to walk home.
=There being no bus, I had to walk home.
[例]天氣好的話，我們將去野餐。
If weather permits, we will have a picnic tomorrow.
Weather permitting, we will have a picnic tomorrow.
獨立分詞構句，也是由副詞子句簡化而來，其簡化過程為：
1. 先去連接詞
2. 保留主詞(前後主詞不同)
3. 動詞改為分詞
[句型] 連接詞+S1+V…，S2+V…
S1+V-ing (主動/進行) ，S2+V…
S1+p.p. (被動/完成) ，S2+V…
(a) My homework ， I went out to play.
(a) has been finished (b) finished (c) been finished (d) was finished.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
此例子中並未考慮動詞本身所配合的語意角色，finish 常用[+humane ]當agent, 而此例句中，直接以my homework 當主詞，有可能非自己寫作業，而只要作業完成，就出去玩。若要表示在寫完作業後就可以以出去玩，應為：After finishing doing my homework, I could go out to play.
2. 分詞構句底下的各種連接詞
(1) Because
We find it ambiguous that the grammar books tell us the following sentences are equivalent. The (b.) sentence structure is often scaled down to participles in the subordinate clause so that the conjunction as well as the subject is omitted. If we look upon it as one of the grammar rules, we may take it for granted. Yet, if we examine and compare sentence (a.) and (b.), we’ll notice the pragmatic difference in between.
For example, sentence a, c, g, I, k seems more like a statement in writing text rather than a spoken language. In a real discourse, we may not adopt the complete [Conjunction+subject+verb] subordinate structure; instead, we may utter out sentences with the main key ideas in a simplified form. Chances are we don’t bother to state the cause-and-effect relationships that clearly because we are talking about something that both listener and speaker have ideas about.
For example, " Being very busy and not using any help, I was usually in a hurry, " said the former nurse, who taught nursing at Indiana University. (from COCA) In this occasion, the listener can assumable get the idea of “be very busy” since the nurse is described that “She had two daughters, but she was not familiar with Dr. Seuss at all, blaming it on her own nonstop schedule as the wife of a successful man.”
Similarly, there is such usage in Chinese as well. We may say 因為太忙，所以她沒有回我電話。Without second guess, we can assume the subject of the subordinate sentence is the same one in the main clause. If we say 因為她太忙碌，所以她沒有時間回我電話, it is likely that we want to avoid ambiguity in sentence, and suggest the emphasis.
a. Because she was very busy, she didn’t have time to call back.
b. Being very busy, she didn’t have time to call back.
c. Because I am not satisfied with his term paper, I told the student to rewrite it.
d. Not being satisfied with his term paper, I told the student to rewrite it.
e. Because there was no taxi to hail, we had no choice but to walk home.
f. There being no taxi to hail, we had no choice but to walk home.
g. Because it was fine that day, my family made a tour around the small island.
h. It being fine that day, my family made a tour around the small island.
i. Because she was hit by a truck, she was seriously injured.
j. Hit by the truck, she was seriously injured.
k. Because it was broken in a typhoon, the window looked ugly.
l. Broken in a typhoon, the window looked ugly.
(2) And
The reference book stated that “and” in subordinate sentence implies the supplementary position. Again, we found the two parallel sentences are not exactly the same in terms of its pragmatic functions.
In sentence (a.), it is apparent that the conjunction “and” play an essential role to connect two sentences which are of equal position. Yet, in sentence (b.), when “and” is omitting and the verb “wait” was changed into “waiting,” the equality of two verbs are no longer the same. In other words, the participle “waiting” seems to become weaker in its meaning and shows the relationship of attachment.
Also, we can find similar instance from the corpus, such as “He stopped and looked at me, waiting for my response” and “We will be standing in the cath lab, waiting for the patient to show up”(COCA) In the previous sentence, we know that the main clause dominates the main idea, while the subordinate clause which begins with “waiting” can only serve as relatively less important action.
a. I stood there, and waited for her.
b. I stood there, waiting for her.
c. Sam is in college, and he majors in English.
d. Sam is in college, majoring in English.
e. The nurse approached the child, and she tried to make him relaxed.
f. The nurse approached the child, trying to make her relaxed.
(3)Before/ After
We find some examples about changing sentences into participial clauses in reference books as follows:
1. After I had finished my homework, I went home.
= Having finished my homework, I went home.
2. After Tom had been informed of the news, he rushed to his home.
= (Having been) Informed of the news, Tom rushed to his home.
3. After my homework had been finished, I went out to play.
= My homework finished, I went out to play.
4. After he was told the way to take, the traveler went on his journey.
= Told the way to take, the traveler went on his journey.
In terms of the grammar usage, those two sentences can be equal. However, based on their functions in the context, they may not be quite the same. It’s improper to put an equal mark between the two sentences. Different sentence patterns function differently. Here, take the conjunction ’after’ as the example. First of all, if we change subordinate clause into participial phrase, it sort of weakens more of the importance of the action. Secondly, with the substitution for subordinate clause, especially in the passive sentence (like in sentence 2,3,4), the time sequence seems not as strong as the original one. Thus, the participial phrase behaves more like a status. The most important reason two sentences cannot be equalized is when they appear in the contexts. Usually, we use participial clauses when the topics have already been mentioned or related to previous sections. However, if the meaning is not quite clear within the context, conjunctions (before/ after) will be mostly kept to have better coherence.
To find out the actual usage of two different sentence patterns in our daily life, we check out on Corpus of Contemporary American English as the reference:
1) Physical Activity Patterns of Young Women Post-college Graduation (Mar2008, Vol. 42 Issue 1, p3-14, 12p, 5 charts)
Women who work frequently state that they have insufficient time or energy for exercise after they finish their typical commute and work day.
2) Umor Revisited: A Diachronic Study of Sacrosanct Principles Embedded in the Yakurr Leboku Festival (Autumn2008, Vol. 41 Issue 3, p54-73, 20p)
These men are selected when they are in their fifties, after they have proven themselves in the community as farmers or have led successful careers within the Nigerian military, police force, or civil service.
This sentence doesn’t change into participial clause because the author may try to balance the importance and emphasize the time sequence between two sentences .
3) The Boss is Watching (Jan2008, Vol. 94 Issue 1, p48-53, 6p, 2 color)
These are just a few cases from recent years: -- In 2000, a national supermarket chain fired a long-term company truck driver after finding out he liked to cross-dress in his spare time.
4) Preparation for Midskilled Work and Continuous Learning in Nine Community College Occupational Programs (Jan2008, Vol. 35 Issue 3, p208-236, 29p, 1 chart, 1 diagram)
They believed that graduates were able to be productive soon after being hired because they had a good understanding of how their jobs fit in with the general flow of work and with the expectations of employers.
The subordinate clauses are trivialized and become more like additional remarks of the main clauses.
(4) As
The meaning and the function of the word “as” vary depending on the communicative context shared by both speakers and listeners. The analysis below aims to examine whether the retaining or omitting of the word “as” as a conjunction in a sentence affects the original meaning that the speaker intends to convey. The guidelines in grammars regarding the deletion of “as” will then be tested to see if they are applicable to actual speech production.
According to “Wen Shih’s New English Grammar with Detailed Explanations, First Edition” and “A Comprehensive Survey of English Grammar, First Edition,” “as” can be omitted if it carries one the following two meanings:
(1) while sth. else is happening: indicating “time”
As he came into the room, he was smiling.
= He came into the room, smiling.
(2) used to state the reason for sth.: indicating “the cause”
As there was no taxi, we had to walk.
= There being no taxi, we had to walk.
Based on the fifty sentences randomly selected from British National Corpus, among the sixty-nine times the word “as” occurs, twenty-two of them appear to be conjunctions. When used as a conjunction, 45.45% (ten out of twenty-two examples) of the usage of “as” contains the aforementioned two meanings. Applying the patterns for “as” deletion to sentences from BNC, the results would be:
(1) while sth. else is happening: indicating “time”
(1-a) She clutched the door handle for support as he manoeuvred past a bus, and then they began to leave behind the slowly rising concrete buildings and the dust and reached the worn hills beyond.
→ (1-b) She clutching the door handle for support, he manoeuvred past a bus, and then they began to leave behind the slowly rising concrete buildings and the dust and reached the worn hills beyond.
If we compare sentence (1-b) with sentence (1-a) in which “as” bears the concept of the “co-occurrence of two events during the same period of time,” we might perceive that in terms of time and space the connection between the two movements, the female’s clutching the door handle and the male’s manoeuvring past a bus, seems to be looser than that in sentence (1-a). In addition, with the presence of “as,” from sentence (1-a) we can learn that the male’s movement occurs first, followed by the female’s, whereas in sentence (1-b), the sequence of the movements becomes ambiguous and confusing.
As we take another sentence from BNC for the usage of “as” concerning the reasons for an event, we will derive:
(2) used to state the reason for sth.: indicating “the cause”
(2-a) Wealth used for production (for example shares) is of particular interest to Marxist sociologists as they believe that power largely derives from ownership of the means of production.
→ (2-b) ? They believing that power largely derives from ownership of the means of production, wealth used for production (for example shares) is of particular interest to Marxist sociologists.
In sentence (2-b), the subjects in the two clauses are to some extent incoherent, rendering the meaning of the entire sentence unclear. On the other hand, sentence (2-a) clearly shows the reasoning for cause (Marxian belief of power deriving from ownership of the means of production) and effect (wealth used for production being of particular interest), and its sentence structure is also easier for listeners to process the meaning it contains. In general, from the corpus data shown above, we can conclude that it is obvious the lack of “as” usually causes meaning ambiguity in communication. Although many grammars note that on certain conditions sentences with and without the conjunction “as” are perfectly interchangeable, it is not always the case in real speech.
(5)Though
In the book, it says that the original sentence conjoined by “though” means the same when it is presented with the participle construction. However, we intuitively feel some difference between the two (the original one and the participle construction one.) Therefore, we look into the COCA corpus to see if there indeed are some differences. There are 157311 solutions to this query “though.” COCA corpus presents 100 entries within one page. The appendix is the a list of our result.
And among these 100 entries, we find only three sentences presented by participle construction.
First of all, I discover that, in the above three examples, “though” only occurs at the initial place. Then I boldly guess it is because the message led by “though participle” here is often older or less important than the following part. Therefore, in the original sentences conjoined by “though conjunction”, “though” can occur in the middle or the final place. For example, in this sentence, “Most focus on the elderly population, even though younger adults who need discharge planning seem to have more problems obtaining and maintaining services,” it seems that the part led by “though” delivers the important message of young adults’ problems. In contrast, in the three examples presented by participle construction, the part led by “though” seems much less important. For example, in the sentence, “Though uneducated and penniless, he was a gentle, nature-loving man, and music was his passion,” it seems that “he was a gentle, nature-loving man, and music was his passion” is the main point here, while the former part “Though uneducated and penniless” is only a supplement to it.
The other proof of this view is that “even” often used with “though” in the original sentences (28 cases here), while there’s no participle construction sentences starting with “even though”. As we know, “even” is an emphasis to the message; therefore, it seems that message led by the “though conjunction” (in the original sentences) is more important than the one led by the “though participle” (in the participle construction sentences.)
3. 結論
總結上方的言論，第一點，我們發現分詞構句跟未省略的子句(Subordinate Clause)，在語用有很明顯的不同。分詞構句顯然比Subordinate Clause更有trivialized 的感覺，也更像補充說明，且在語意上的份量相對較輕。那是因為分詞構句地位比較像Phrase，跟Clause比起來，在句法跟語意上都較輕。
我們都知道從syntactic觀點來看，Independent Clause(獨立子句)的分量大於從屬子句(Subordinate Clause)，而Clause都大於phrase, 可推出下方結論：
Independent Clause(獨立子句)＞從屬子句(Subordinate Clause)＞phrase(NP)＞N
分詞構句地位較像phrase，自然跟子句再語意跟句法上有落差！但是，參考書都直接畫上等號，這是相當不恰當的教法！
第二點，我們觀察分詞構句出現的語用場合(context)，會發現，它通常會在context的中間，前面一定有句子提到相關的主題或事件，才使用分詞構句。而這跟pragmatics觀點有關，當我們第二次提及這個主題時，因為上文以提供足夠的quantity包括主詞啦，事件等等的，因為上文以提過夠多的線索，所以他主要就是強調他的manner，要能夠be brief and orderly. 因此他會省略一些metadiscourse，像if ,though, 用分詞構句提綱扼要一下重點。而現有參考書將2者畫上等號，學生若在不知情的情況下亂用，就會有不authentic的感覺。
第三點，參考書有考慮到順序，我們對於順序也有提出質疑，因為並非所有的連接詞都一定得去除，加上在2句主詞不同情形下，也不能做省略。因為市面上編排亂，難保學生學錯。且在as跟一開始教科書分析我們得知，分詞構句有時會造成ambiguity，但很多參考書卻沒把它列位重點。學生就會以為所有conjunctions都可以如此使用。且觀察corpus語料發現，此類句型並不常見，是否有必要花這麼長篇幅學習？
在我們提出報告當中，有觀察到不同的conjunction，省略後效果有所不同。有的造成有status的感覺，或是有topicalization的感覺，而使動作更加鮮明。我們所提出的論點，最主要是證明參考書不可直接畫上等號，這是相當不恰當的教法！參考書也應大略敘述此句型使用情境，而不試用 deductive的方式直接講述文法，這相當不恰當。
