In some sense, I generally think of verbals as having a temporal
nature to them, while I think of nouns as have less or no temporal
nature to them. That I guess is now what I think I was asking. Can
participles function within the nominal box ONLY, even though
they are part verb? Or, if a participle is functioning as a
substantive, are we saying that it MUST do so with its
accompanying temporal nature?
Thanks,
Mark Wilson
