"The author has produced an excellent work on the diachrony and synchrony, on the meaning, distribution, and form of the progressive constructions in the Romance languages. This is a book that can be highly recommended to any linguist interested in periphrastic constructions, their origin and their grammaticalization, and in the interplay of aspect, actionality, and aktionsart." (Rolf Thieroff, Romance Philology 56/2003)
