This paper aims to explore the interaction of lexical aspect of English verbs and the grammatical aspect of the progressive and account for the stative progressive in a principled manner. Based on their lexical aspect of whether they have duration or natural endpoints, verbs are classified into dynamic and stative verbs. It is then shown that dynamic verbs, which include verbs of activity, achievement, and accomplishment, can combine with the progressive, while stative verbs cannot because of the conflict between their lexical aspect and the grammatical aspect of the progressive. On the observation that the stative progressive is commonly in use in everyday English, efforts are also made to advance the proposal that the stative verbs can be in the progressive form in the contexts where they show limited duration or imply a series of changes over time. At the same time, it is proposed that stative verbs are made compatible with the progressive aspect when used dynamically or employed to add more vividness, intensity, and emotional strength.
