説明

The progressive form in English basically indicates a situation or an action is in progress. However, it does not always indicate the same meaning in every context. It has been pointed out that, in some cases, the meaning differs according to its aspectuality of a verb or a verb phrase. It has also been pointed out that the related nouns (such as subject or direct object) change its aspectual character of verb phrases. This paper examines the influence of telicity to the aspectuality of verbs or verb phrases and clarifies the following: when a verbal aspect is perfective and includes its end-point or goal due to the telicity, a progressive form indicates an ongoing situation toward the goal. In this case, end-point or goal is focused as a situational salience.On the other hand, when a verbal aspect is imperfective and has no end-point due to its atelicity,the progressive form indicates the situation that is continuously in progress for a certain period.
