标题: [求助]关于修饰词就近修饰
If modifier modifies the closest noun, then why is "likeninng..." modify "technique" instead of "works of art" in the following sentence:

many others in the film industry, however, contend that the technique degrades major works of art, likening it to putting lipstick on a Greek statue.
(From OG-229)

是不是“就近修饰”原则可以违反?

这里的likening是作主句的状语,不是定语。
liken
vt.把...比作
