| Abstract | ||
| This paper investigates the syntactic functions of participle clauses in native and non-native writings . The data chosen for this study is four essays written by native and non-native writers. The first two essays are written by (Cales and Liebert) and the other by ( Abdullah and Vincent). A statistic study is made to show the frequency of participle clauses. The results show the under use of such clauses in non-native writings though such clauses are regarded as signal of a good writer. This may be mainly due to the effect of translation from the mother tongue to the second language and some other possible reasons. The paper ends with some conclusions and recommendations resulted from the study. | ||
