Johanna, Craig, Edith and all,
 
I will try to hold my tongue on this one.  I think Johanna hit the nail on the
head with "text-level reasons."  I think this was pretty much my motivation for
interpreting the opening phrases as adverbial adjuncts.  I am not sure of the
theoretical implications of the analysis, but I suppose, as is the case with
questions of "movement," the framework often motivates the analysis and
terminology.  Without a discourse level in my framework I am unable to do
otherwise.  This sentence-level position of adverbs is where parenthetical
material goes; clearly at the discourse level.  I suppose this level is the
origin of a lot of sentence fragments as well; material that many grammarians
choose to ignore.

I'd like to politely disagree with Bruce about the "downed" and  
"gleaming" sentences. The phrases are adjectival. I think your  
adverbial feeling is coming from the discourse function of the initial  
placement: as an orienting phrase, it has an "adverbial" feel. Someone  
spoke of "movement". I believe we should resist "movement" talk.  
Initial placement of a phrase  is one sentence order among many that  
are available for coding information. It may be picayuney, but I far  
prefer saying "the speaker chose to place the phrase at the beginning  
for text-level reasons" rather than "the speaker chose to move the  
phrase to the beginning for text-level reasons". Martha's? paraphrases  
with "while" are very nice illustrations of the difference between  
intro adverbials and intro adjectivals. What did you think of my  
discourse explanation?

Craig,
 
Not that I'm looking for the last word on this, but you asked for it.   
I must admit that some of my ideas are not fleshed out enough to leave  
my own teaching environment, but my effort with foreign students is to  
point out the meanings associated with different structures. I must  
also admit that the "function" in functional grammar is still a little  
vague to me.  My examples were meant to distinguish grammatical  
function from rhetorical function (I hope I've used these terms  
correctly). 
 
1.  "Downed in the storm, the oak tree lies on the lawn like a broken  
warrior."  My perception of this sentence is that the author wants to  
give a reason for the oak tree lying on the lawn or possibly a  
concomitant (or causative) state.  To be explicit the author might have  
said, "Because the oak tree has been downed in t! he storm, it lies on  
the lawn like a broken warrior." or better, "The oak tree has been  
downed in the storm and now lies on the lawn like a broken warrior." I  
simply wanted to point out that the participial phrase serves this  
adverbial function.  I also go with the traditional view, that the  
participle modifies the noun phrase in the grammatical function of a  
non-restrictive adjective. 
 
2. I apologize for using the technical term "dangling" to refer to the  
absence of a clear reference for "gleaming in the sun."  Maybe even  
"clear" is used here a little loosely.  "Gleaming in the bright sun,  
the new car was parked on the street in front of our big window."  Here  
the bright sunlight associates with the big window and seems to be  
implying that we are on the inside, out of the sun, looking out at it  
and this gleaming off the new car has b! rought our attention to it.  The  
only sense in which the participle "dangles" is that this implied  
relationship to the author is not clear.  I must admit to not  
being clear -- not using the term in quotes.  The concomitant  
circumstance of gleaming in the bright sun is kind of disconnected from  
the sentence, "The new car, gleaming in the bright sun, was parked on  
the street in front of our big window."  Here at least the author's  
intent seems cl!  early to be nothing more than to give some additional  
description of the car.  When the phrase comes first in a sentence  
like, "Gleaming in the sun, the new car was obvious to every  
passer-by,"  at least its adverbial nature, the reason the author put  
it up front (in an adverbial position), is easier to see.

Bruce,
   My interest is actually a more pedestrian one; what do I tell  
students
in an introductory grammar class about where to draw the lines? The
next edition of my book (if it gets that far) will force a
re-examination. I decided to go with more traditional view, that the
structure modifies its implied subject, regardless of where it's moved.
But I'm not overjoyed with that.
   Johanna, of course, brings up the interesting function of what  
systemic
functional grammar calls a "marked theme", and that gives us a way to
discuss why the movement would take place, as a discourse function.
It's just hard for me to agree that a past participle headed structure
would be adjectival and a present participle one would be adverbial in
the same (sentence opening) position! , and so on. I'm looking for a
neat, clean way to consistently describe these. "Downed in the storm,
the oak tree lies on the ! lawn like a broken warrior." Would that be
adverbial as well? In the interest of consistency, I think it would
have to be, but you don't seem ready to say that.
   "Dangling" is a technical term in traditional grammar, meaning a
participial phrase (their term) that doesn't have a noun phrase (my
term)  or has a misleading noun phrase to modify.
   "Shouting watch out, the bear was coming toward us." The examples are
usually comical.
   My own sentence seemd awkward to you, but it wasn't "dangling' in the
usual way the word is used.
   As we say quite often, we need consistency and clarity and  
usefulness,
and I don't see that yet in the way you are drawing the lines. I would
love to have an alternative approach to consider.
