Abstract
The paper considers polysubject clauses with adverbial participles and their comparison with construction “dative absolute” characteristic of the Old Russian narrative texts. By hagiographic texts and General Internet Corpus of Russian, it has been found that the objective narration of the Old Russian texts required pointing to the subject as it changed according to the scribe’s focus. On the contrary, developing a subjective type of narrative which is focused on the narrator’s modus allows a native speaker to avoid ambiguity of abnormal constructions with adverbial participles and use them as means of actual division of the sentence.
