I'd like to know if "subject to context" is a participle phrase expressing method.
Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joon I'd like to know if "subject to context" is a participle phrase expressing method. No. I would call "subject to" a compound preposition and "subject to context" a prepositional phrase.
