Abstract This corpus-based study focuses on the progressive:nonprogressive alternation from a novel perspective, i.e. the effect of syntactic priming. We annotated a dataset of 5,000 progressive and nonprogressive occurrences in ten different varieties of English from the International Corpus of English for variables such as Aktionsart categories and elements related to priming and subjected the data to a generalized linear mixed methods tree analysis. The results indicate that the progressive is most likely to occur in situations that are durative in nature and when they are preceded by another progressive; overall, we find some evidence of probabilistic indigenization with regard to the use of progressives in different varieties. However, while syntactic priming seems to play a role overall in the choice of the progressive over the nonprogressive, we do not find evidence supporting the idea that priming may explain the use of nonstandard stative progressives.

领先的进步人士？预测世界英语中的体态选择

摘要 本项基于语料库的研究从一个新颖的角度，即句法启动的作用，着重于进行性与非进行性交替。我们为来自国际英语语料库的 10 个不同英语变体中的 5,000 个渐进和非渐进出现的数据集注释了变量，例如与启动相关的 Aktionsart 类别和元素，并对数据进行广义线性混合方法树分析。结果表明，渐进式最有可能发生在本质上是持续性的情况下，并且当它们之前有另一个渐进式时；总的来说，我们发现了一些关于在不同品种中使用进步主义的概率本土化的证据。然而，
