| Feb 25, 2020 at 20:52 | comment | added | Mitomino | @JoonasIlmavirta I think we agree: conceptual problems, the ones "behind" the terminological label & descriptive taxonomy, are the really worrying ones. In any case, my point here is that if one (erroneously) says that victa serpente superbus contains an AA, it is like saying that ab urbe condita contains an AA as well. This said, it is worth pointing out there is a parallelism between AAs and AUCs: both involve a subordinated subject-predicate relation that, to put it in the above words by Fund Monica's Lawsuit, is "set off from" the main subject-predicate relation. | |
| Feb 25, 2020 at 20:33 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | @Mitomino By categorization I referred to both naming and dividing into groups. But both are an artificial layer of description on top of the actual phenomenon, so they often not that important. | |

(Unfortunately,) you're right when saying "it is a matter of taste how things are categorized, so one's AA is not always another's AA". I understand by "categorized" you mean "termed/named". As usual, "terminological" problems are not the true problems. Conceptual problems, the ones "behind the label/name", are the really worrying ones. | |

| Nov 1, 2019 at 11:38 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | @tony You can have an AA without a participle, like Caesare duce. But do bear in mind that it is a matter of taste how things are categorized, so one's AA is not always another's AA. | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 11:24 | comment | added | tony | The participle in an AA is compulsory, isn't it? "Recently, with the serpent having been conquered, he (Delius) was seen gloating..."; how about this? | |
