Abstract

The article examines the function of detached participles in Modern English from a perspective of discourse formation. An attempt is made to describe the use of these structures in speech, to reveal the extent to which it conditions the distribution of participles in different types of discourses, as well as to demonstrate certain grammatical features of these structures. The article emphasizes that the use of different grammatical structures in speech is conditioned by the purpose of the communicative situation. Therefore, the process of the perception of grammar is inseparable from the principles by which the language speakers make up their speech as a whole.
