<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:12.0pt'>This book presents a large-scale corpus-driven study
of progressives in 'real' English and 'school' English, combining an analysis
of general linguistic interest with a pedagogically motivated one. A systematic
comparative analysis of more than 10,000 progressive forms taken from the
largest existing corpora of spoken British English and from a small corpus of
EFL textbook texts highlights numerous differences between actual language use
and textbook language concerning the distribution of progressives, their
preferred contexts, favoured functions, and typical lexical-grammatical
patterns. On the basis of these differences, a number of pedagogical
implications are derived, the integration of which then leads to a first draft
of an innovative concept of teaching progressives - a concept which responds to
three key criteria in pedagogical description: typicality, authenticity, and
communicative utility. The analysis also demonstrates that many existing
accounts of the progressive are inappropriate in several respects and that not
enough attention is being paid to lexical-grammatical relations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
