Amsterdam ; New York: Rodopi, 2005. — 300 p. — ISBN 90-420-1735-X.The topic of the present study is the use and development of the progressive in English during the 19th century. The study is a revised version of the doctoral thesis I presented at Uppsala University in 2002. Among other things, the chapter structure has been changed, and studies published since 2002, as well as a number of valuable comments I have received on the thesis text, have been taken into account.
