在本文提出的进步分析中，两个概念起着至关重要的作用。一方面，由于同一事件可以“嵌入”到与进展的真条件有关的若干可能的发展中，因此分析的首要任务就是说明将事件与其可能的延续联系起来的那部分关系。另一方面，这种联系在很大程度上依赖于语境因素，本文的第二个任务是根据世界上的事件（选择为相关的“伴随事实”）和话语的情况（使这些事实相关的会话背景）来分析语境的概念。在第2节中提出所谓的不完美悖论之后，在第3节中，我解决了由于数据不确定而产生的歧义问题，而在第4节中讨论了相关问题。本节分析的新例子是对进行式的内涵特征的一个有趣的说明。在第5节中，我讨论了流变关系在进行时语义中的作用，而在第6节中，我考虑了在与不可能的事件过程相关的情况下使用这种方面形式。在最后几节中，所有这些问题都是从进步语义学的角度来考虑的，其中对可能性的“流变”分析（基于部分关系）与语境主义方法相结合
In the analysis of the progressive proposed in the paper, two notions play a crucial role. On the one hand, since the same event can be 'embedded' into several possible developments that are relevant to the truth-conditions of the progressive, a first task of the analysis is to account for the part-of relation which connects an event with its possible continuations. On the other hand, this kind of connection is largely dependent on contextual factors, and a second task of the paper is to analyze this notion of context both in terms of events in the world (the 'concomitant facts' selected as relevant) and in terms of the situation of the discourse (the conversational background that makes those facts relevant). After presenting, in section 2, the so-called imperfective paradox, in section 3, I address a problem of ambiguity engendered by the underdetermination of the data, whilst a related issue is discussed in section 4. The new examples analyzed in this section are an interesting illustration of the intensional character of the progressive. In section 5, I discuss the role of mereological relations in the semantics of the progressive, whilst in section 6, I take into consideration the use of this aspectual form in connection with improbable courses of events. In the final sections, all these problems are considered from the point of view of a semantics for the progressive in which a 'mereological' analysis of eventualities (based on the part-of relation) is combined with a contextualist approach
