                    What? I'm pretty sure you just invented the term "adjectival participle". "Risen" in the sentence "he is risen" is just a participle being used as an adjective. It's neither an "adjectival" participle nor a "verbal" participle; it's just a participle, regardless of its use in the sentence.

                    Secondly, what in the hell is wrong with "he has risen"? Abso-freakin'-lutely nothing. It's perfectly grammatical. It's even a straightforward conjugation:

                    present: he rises
                    past: he rose
                    present participle: he is rising
                    past participle: he has risen.

                    The "he is/has risen" question is merely an example about the multiple possible uses of a participle.

                    Sorry for long-assed bump... however, hate to tell you:

                    Different types of participles:

                    Verbal
                    Adjectival
                    Adverbial

                    Those are pretty much it, but still.

                            Maybe in Russian or Hungarian, but this isn't a thread about linguistics; it's about English grammar.

                            We have present and past participles and the such, which act like verbs and adjectives, but we make no real distinction between verbal or adverbial participles.

                            My Polish Linguisitcs is weak, so I hadn't ever heard of those terms. Thanks for picking nits, though.

                                they look the same they just have different functions, and you have to be able to distinguish them to identify how they work in a given structure

                                    Er... I was speaking of English grammar, not linguistics in general. Grammarians can and do make distinctions between different participial forms.
