The nom.abs.P.const. consists of two interdependent elements, nominal and verbal, which are in a predicative relation. The nominal element is a noun in a common case or a pronoun in the nominative case. The verbal is P.I in any of its forms. The nominal and the verbal elements make a syntactical complex functioning as a detached adv.mod. This c-n does not depend on a verb. The c-n functions syntactically as an adv.mod:
- Of attending circumstances (F.e. She hurried out of the car and walked away, tears streaming down her face)
- Of reason (The ship’s band did not play in the morning, it being Sunday)
- Of time[тоді, коли, після того як] (F.e. The question solved, we decided to have some rest)
- Of condition[якщо] (F.e. Weather permitting, we shall go for a picnic)
Prepositional absolute P.c-n(with P.I,II) is introduced by the preposition “with”. Its nominal element is usually a noun in the common case(or rarely a personal pronoun in the objective case). The main syntactic function of this c-n is an adv.mod. of attending circumstances (F.e. She rushed out of the room with her heart beating fast).
