This analysis identifies two types of attributive participles, suggesting their functions are often overlooked in grammar texts.
My purpose in speaking of the attributive participle as ‘identifying’ has been to avoid the term ‘defining’, which applies to most but not all of the examples. There are some attributive participles that perform a different function, which I have called ‘characterizing’. In the standard grammars, the two types are not, as a rule, distinguished. 1
