The same book.
You can search by the number and title ostmodification by nonfinite clauses ;17.2 ...
According to some grammar books, "having done" can serve as non-modifier, but only non-essential one.(这个最好能给出出处)just want to say Gmac might not allow "having" to be a noun modifier.(你上文说是non modifier,你现在又说不允许non-modifier)
As for the Neuroscientists sentence, I think it serves as non-essential noun modifier.
John, running to catch the bus, slipped on the icy pavement and fell.
--> It would be nonsense to take away the commas, because "John" -- who is just one person -- is impossible to narrow down.
--> "Running to catch the bus" describes John.
--> Importantly, "running to catch the bus" is related to the action of the sentence. (John was running when he slipped and fell.)
--
If this kind of relationship doesn't exist, the __ing modifier is inappropriate.
*Jesse, standing almost eight inches taller than me, is my brother.
--> Nonsense, because a height difference has no relationship to the fact that we are brothers.
--
"Which"/"who"/"whom"/"whose" implies no such relationship.
Jesse, who stands almost eight inches taller than me, is my brother.
--> This sentence is fine.
As for the Neuroscientists sentence, I think it serves as non-essential noun modifier.just want to say Gmac might not allow "having" to be a noun modifier.
