Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study, which has explored the reason for the aspectual restriction on the progressive, has found that the construction in its spontaneity can be considered aspect-neutral. The research on corpora as well as on the Late Modern through Present-day English actual data including epistolary texts, trial records, novels reveals the fact that the progressive with a stative construal has been in actual use. Moreover, majority of Late Modern English grammars employ I am {loving/ fearing} as models of the periphrastic form. Noah Webster (1784: 25), for instance, explains that this form is used to confine the speaker’s scope of predication to the actual phenomenal situation denoted by the stem verb of the participle. This insight in fact leads to identifying one basic core meaning of the progressive, which Kranich (2010: 72) has expressed skepticism about achieving, but also in explaining diverse facets of the progressive construction.
