It uses data from the British component of ARCHER-2 (A Representative Corpus of Historical English Registers, version 2) to uncover the details of this long-term grammaticalization process, tracing the development of the construction from a stylistic device to a fully-fledged aspect marker. Illustrated by a wealth of examples, the work offers new results concerning the preferred linguistic environments and the development of the functions of the progressive. In contrast to previous studies, the author shows that there are certain restrictions to context expansion in grammaticalization. She argues convincingly that the persistent reluctance of the progressive to occur in certain contexts does not point to incomplete grammaticalization, but can instead be explained as a product of its particular functions. The author also challenges the tenet that grammaticalization is generally accompanied by subjectification. 410 0$aLanguage and computers ;$vno. 72. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a427 700 $aKranich$b Svenja$01471819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785201903321 996 $aThe progressive in modern English$93813871 997 $aUNINA
