‘being associated with vulgarity’
Hello, everyone,
“Faced with competition from the bourgeois, the courtiers could not resort to overt violence as in the past. Instead, their fears were manifested in a general revulsion, with disgust at anything that ‘smelt bourgeois' being associated with vulgarity. Courtiers competed instead by means of manners, modifying their speech, gestures and social amusements to maintain a distinctive distance from the unpleasant pressure from below.”
While I assume the underlined part above is an adverbial participle clause in the relative clause starting with ‘that’, modifying ‘anything’, I will appreciate upon your valuable opinions.
