Abstract. The aim of the research is to identify the most characteristic participial constructions used in publicistic texts in English. Scientific novelty of the research lies in analyzing the syntactical functions of English participles based on the analytical articles from the English-language media. The syntactical functions of participles in English are described in the paper. After that, the participial constructions that are most frequently used in publicistic texts in English are identified. Then the paper analyzes the features of these constructions in analytical articles. As a result, it has been found that passive forms are the most widely used forms, contributing to the brevity and objective character of publicistic texts. Participles in postposition in the attributive function ascribe the texts to the bookish style. The use of absolute participial constructions allows for the compressive character and information abundance of publicistic texts. Attributive composites with participles are widely used instead of phrases or clauses.
