participial strategy (str)
a.k.a.
a strategy used in the stative complex predicate construction in which the manner (more generally, stative) component is packaged as a separate primary predication coordinated with the event predication using a deranked complex sentence strategy. In addition, the stative predicate is predicated of, and ideally indexes, (one of) its argument(s). Example: in Sanuma opi-i a kali-palo-ma
He worked slowly[lit.
being slow, he worked] opi-i
be slowis in a deranked form with suffix -i; the suffix, however, indicates that opi
slowhas the same subject as kali-palo-ma
worked-- namely,
he. (Section 14.2)
