The Prepositional Absolute Participial Construction 
 
Function: Adverbial modifier. 
 
The Absolute Participial Construction may be introduced by the preposition ‘with’ 
and is then called the  Prepositional Absolute Participial Construction. It is not 
necessarily set off by a comma. This construction is rendered in Russian by a coor-
dinate clause or деепричастный оборот. 
Prepositional absolute constructions are less common than non-prepositional ones. 
 
In most cases it used in the function of an adverbial modifier: 
 
a) of attendant circumstances. 
 
•

сердце сильно билось. 
•

◄►Absolute Constructions without a Participle◄► 
 
There are two types of absolute constructions in which we find no participle. The 
second element of the construction is an adjective, a prepositional phrase, or an ad-
verb. 
 
(1) The Nominative Absolute Construction 
 
It is used in the function of an adverbial modifier: 
 
a) of time 
In this function The Nominative Absolute Construction is rendered in Russian by an adver-
bial clause. 
 
• 
Breakfast over, he went out. 
(=When breakfast was over, he went out.) 
Когда закончи-
ли завтракать, он вышел. 
• 
The dress ready, I went to the dressmaker to get it. 
 
•  Note: Mind the difference between the meaning of the following constructions: 
The lesson (concert, lecture) over …
 
and
 
The lesson (concert, lecture) being over ... 
• 
The lesson over has a temporal meaning, 
• 
whereas
 The lesson being over has as a rule a causal meaning. 
 
• 
Cf.: The lesson over, he went home. 
Когда урок закончился, он пошел домой.
 
• 
The lesson being over, he went home.
 
Так как урок закончился, он пошел домой.
 
 
b) of attendant circumstances 
In this function the Nominative Absolute Construction is rendered in Russian either by a 
coordinate clause, деепричастный оборот, or a noun (pronoun) with the preposition ‘с’. 
 
• 
There he stood, his face to the south-east, his cap in his hand. 
Он стоял,  
повернувшись к юго-востоку, … с шапкой в руке. 
• 
Manson went home alone, his heart full of strange emotions.

домой  один, душа его была переполнена странными чувствами. 
• 
I looked at her, her face expressionless.
 
• 
He stopped and turned about, his eyes brightly proud.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

103 
 
(2) The Prepositional Absolute Construction 
 
It is mostly used in the function of an adverbial modifier of attendant circums-
tances. It is rendered in Russian either by a coordinate clause or 
деепричастный обо-
рот.
 
 
• 
I found him ready and waiting for me, with a stick in his hand. 
Он был готов и ждал 
меня; в руке у него была палка.
 
 
 
• 
She looked a different girl, with her face pale,  her smile listless. 
(безразличный, вялый) 
•
