Suggestion for Eduard:
 
Look under 'movement' if you are searching the literature on syntax.
 
You won't likely find anything under "present participle fronting" for two reasons: This is not just about participles; and the idea of 'preposing' is probably more prevalent in the literature on pragmatics than in the literature on syntax.
