Resumen: This being a preliminary study, many assumptions are still based on inadequate evidence. Closer study on the evolution of participial constructions in the history on English, Latin and French would give a fuller picture of their development. Nevertheless, some preliminary conclusions may be drawn here. Firstly, adverbial participial clauses formed part of the spoken system, which favoured their frequent use in the oral poetry of the Anglo-Saxons. Translation from Latin, where the ablative absolute had become a literary device, played a decisive role in the development of new types of participial absolute constructions in Old English prose, which became less frequent as case distinctions collapsed. Only in late Middle English and early Modern English influence from Latin and French encouraged the creation of new participial constructions, the so-called nominative absolute, which were typical of the literary language.
