The Latin dominant participle construction poses a challenge for syntactic and semantic analysis due to its exhibiting an apparent syntax–semantics mismatch. Its syntactic behaviour and distribution is determined by a nominal phrase fronted to its left periphery, yet interpretive properties indicate that it is a propositional structure subject to nominalization. With the Minimalist Program of Chomsky (1993, 1995) as the framework of analysis, it is argued that taking into account the dynamics of syntactic operations as envisaged in Chomsky (2013b, 2015) and related work is sufficient to provide an account of syntactic and semantic properties of the dominant participle construction without positing construction–specific rules or covert syntactic nominalizers.

拉丁语主要分词：派生和解释的动态*

由于拉丁语的显性分词结构表现出明显的句法－语义不匹配，因此对句法和语义分析提出了挑战。它的句法行为和分布是由其左边缘前面的名词短语决定的，但解释性表明它是受名词修饰的命题结构。有人认为，以乔姆斯基的极简主义纲领（1993年，1995年）为分析框架，考虑到乔姆斯基（2013b，2015年）所设想的句法操作的动态以及相关工作，足以说明句法和句法。主导分词结构的语义特性，无需提出特定于结构的规则或隐式句法名词化词。
