复杂语法结构(a broken man作状语吗)

He returned from the war a broken man. 他从战场上回来，整个人都垮了

请问这句话中的a broken man是怎么回事? 是什么语法现象呢?

有没有其他的例句呢?

这是名词作状语，表示谓语动作发生时主语的身份。句子等于：

When he returned from the war, he was a broken man.

这类似于形容词作状语。形容词作状语，表示谓语动作发生时主语所处的状态。

He died young. = When he died, he was young.

He died a hero. = When he died, he was a hero.
