<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>Hi Corpus Linguists!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>I'm wondering whether one of you could
possibly help me with a research project on future expressions in English. I'm
looking for several structures in the spoken part of the British National Corpus
and I have some problems to find types like "VERBing", "will be
VERBing" and so on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>Is there a possibility to find all present
progressive forms without doing a separate query on every single verb, i. e. is
it possible to insert some kind of "place marker" indicating
"base form of lexical verb"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks a lot for your help!</FONT></DIV>
