	Participle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a participle is an adjective derived from a verb.
		The present participle in English is an active participle; the past participle is usually a passive participle (but sometimes not: in particular, the past participles of intransitive verbs are never passive, and are therefore sometimes used with active senses, such as in the expression fallen comrades).
		A present participle is often confused with a gerund, a noun form of a verb with "-ing".

	Filologia 8 (1995) Scot SNYDER
		The participle is in extremely close proximity and in proper grammatical relation to the imperative; and the circumstantial use of the participle makes good sense of the verse.
		By this, it is meant that a participle which occurs in close proximity to a main verb and could easily modify that verb, without distorting the sense of the argument, is probably not best considered a commanding participle.
		The thesis of L. Thurén that the author of 1 Peter used the participles under discussion in a purposefully vague manner (a "textual strategy") to cause both semantical and theological ambivalence is unconvincing.

		That the participle, however, was in some cases still felt as a substantive (Adjective Participle used substantively) seems probable from its being used correlatively with an adjective or noun and from the occasional use of the participle with the article.
		The position of the Participle of Attendant Circumstance with reference to the verb is not determined by any fixed rules, but by the order of the writer’s thought, this being in turn governed of course to a certain extent by the order of the events.
		If the action of the participle is subsequent to that of the principal verb, it almost invariably follows the verb, the tense of the participle being determined by the conception of the action as respects its progress.

		The present participle indicating participation ends in '-anta'; the past participle indicating result ends in '-inta'; and the future participle indicating anticipation ends in '-onta'.
		It would also be possible to say that the only verb involved is 'esti' and that the participle is a predicate adjective which modifies the subject and indicates his mental state relative to some action.
		Participles can also be used as attributive adjectives (i.e., adjectives that aren't predicate adjectives).

	The Analysis of Determiners
		If the participle is passive, then the article used as a relative is still that participle’s grammatical subject.
		The problem is that for articular participles (and prepositional phrases) we indicate an unexpressed substantive by a plus on the article, whereas for adjectives used substantivally, the designation is carried by ap.
		He is not saying that "some are the ones who…" or that "the ones who … are some." Rather he is saying that some ones exist; the articular participle identifies the "some ones." Because the antecedent is overt, the article is tagged in the working analysis as dnmp^aprnm-p, and dnmp in simplified form.

		The conversation revolves around the present time (Barbara is hanging around), so it continues in the present using the present perfect (I’ve bumped) to indicate an action that happened earlier.

		The base form, the past tense form, and the past participle together make up the so-called principal parts of the verb: if the verb is irregular, all the irregularity is confined to the last two forms.
		With a third person singular subject, the verb suffix can be -s as in Modern English; alternatively, however, the suffix -th (or -eth) may be used: she speaketh, he writeth.
		The present participle is formed by adding the suffix -ing to the base form of the verb.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Yes, the reason is that most language commentators recommend using hanged for the past tense and past participle of hang when referring to death by hanging, and hung for the past tense and past participle in all other meanings.
		The Modern English word hang is the result of a fusion of three verbs: two from Old English, one transitive and one intransitive (like the distinction between lay and lie), with influence from one from Old Norse.
		Presumably hanged continued to be used here because judges would use this older form when sentencing convicts (legal language, like religious language, is usually very formal, and more resistant to change than other varities of English).

		The vowel "V" agrees with the vowel in the last syllable of the verb root.
		Unlike the adjectives derived by appending the previous suffixes, it seems that the adjectival participle resulting from the use of this suffix cannot be used directly tied to the noun it is modifying, but rather is used as part of a modifying participial phrase.
		As noted in Sections 56 and 91, this is a passive participle.

	Issue of July 21, 2004
		In modern usage, I believe the phrase means to "hang out" or "goof off," and it implies a certain amount of idleness tinged with merriment.
		"Hanging out" and "goofing off" would certainly qualify as "cutting the fool," at least in the eyes of the staid and censorious among us.
		The past participle of "privare" is "privatus," from which, in the late 1300s, we developed the English word "private" in the sense of "belonging to an individual." However, a bit earlier (sometime around 1200), we had also adopted the Old French word "prive" (also derived from the Latin and meaning "private").

		If they think about it, most people find sentences such as the following illogical: 'Flying through the air in great loops, I watched the bird with great fascination.' This is because the subject of the sentence is 'I', but the participle 'flying' refers to what the bird does; not to what I do.
		We call this illogical use of 'flying' a hanging participle.
		People would generally prefer a sentence such as: 'Flying through the air in great loops, the bird completely fascinated me.' Here 'the bird' is doing both the fascinating and the flying.
