The Realisation of the Semantic Operator Progressive in English and Romance Languages.
Espunya I. Prat, Anna
Language Sciences, v18 n1-2 p295-303 Jan-Apr 1996
Presents two different types of progressive construction in Spanish and Catalan, one referring to a state or event, and the other to the development of an event. The article argues that the first is predicated of a homogenous period of time, whereas the other is predicated of a period of time divided into consecutive phases. (23 references) (Author/CK)
