I nearly used 'string headed by an ing-word'. But I'd say that 'marking' here is nearer the verb end of the continuum than the noun end. | |

| Oct 3, 2015 at 4:23 | comment | added | user140086 | @EdwinAshworth I don't think "marking" is part of present participial phrase. It is just a gerund used as an object of a preposition, as. | |

Right. A is regarded/seen/viewed as VP comes via passives from _Indef regards/sees/views A as VP. So "viewed as marking" isn't really a constituent; it's just a few words strung together in a particular construction.
