Adjectival participle

Adjectival participle

"Adjectival participles" are built out of a verb (mostly with a suffix), and in most cases they play the role of the sentence element called "attribute" in the grammar of some languages (Russian [http://www.alphadictionary.com/rusgrammar/particip.html The Russian Participles] . Part of “An Intercative On-line Reference Grammar — Russian” by Dr. Robert Beard. ] , Hungarian, many Eskimo languages, e.g. Sireniki Menovshchikov, G.A.: Language of Sireniki Eskimos. Phonetics, morphology, texts and vocabulary. Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow • Leningrad, 1964. Original data: Г.А. Меновщиков: Язык сиреникских эскимосов. Фонетика, очерк морфологии, тексты и словарь. Академия Наук СССР. Институт языкознания. Москва • Ленинград, 1964] ). Thus it can usually be translated into English by using an appropriate relative clause Ernest De Witt Burton: Moods and Tenses of New Testament Greek. [http://www.dabar.org/BurtonMoodsTenses/PARTICIPLE-ADJECTIVE.html The adjective participle] . Paragraph [http://www.dabar.org/BurtonMoodsTenses/PARTICIPLE-ADJECTIVE.html#428 428] .] .

Some descriptive grammars treat them as a distinct lexical category, others avoid that and use a more minimalistic approach. [cite book |last=É.
