The purpose of this paper is to give an analysis of the English participial construction with conjunction from the viewpoint of grammatical dynamism as proposed by Kajita (1977). First, we look at several types of examples concerning 'the conjunction + participial construction, compared with the ordinary participial construction and the adverbial clause. Next, we present an analysis in which 'the conjunction + participial construction' can be generated on the basis of the underlying ordinary participial construction and the condensed adverbial clause by using the notions economy, spell-out, avoid ambiguity, and model-dependency. In this analysis, we focus on explaining why participial constructions cannot co-occur with conjunctions indicating reason. Finally, to make a more valid analysis, we mention that further investigation of language acquisition and English history is required.
