when talking,这是怎么一个用法?talking在这里是什么成分?

叫独立主格。完整形式是:when they were talking,they sat face to face with each other.

这是省略句,应该是一个状语从句
完整形式:When they are talking,they sat face to face with each other.
talking就是现在分词表示状态

when引导的时间状语从句中 如果主语和主句一样且谓语动词为be时 就可以省略从句成分 如原句可以是When (they are) talking,they sat face to face with each other

是过去进行时吧
