1906H. W. & F. G. Fowler King's Eng. ii. 119 The mistake is caused by certain types of sentence in which a real, not a fused participle is so used that the noun and its (unfused) participle give a sense hardly distinguishable from a possessive noun and a gerund. Ibid. 120 Long fused-participle phrases are a variety of abstract expression, and as such to be deprecated. 1926Fowler Mod. Eng. Usage 205/2 Fused participle is a name given to the construction exemplified in its simplest form by ‘I like you pleading poverty’...

Gowers Compl. Plain Words ix. 157 What they are not agreed about is whether it is also correct to..write ‘the Bill getting a second reading surprised everyone’.
