metadata.value: Based on corpus data, the article discusses three Spanish infinitive constructions with a
  prospective meaning: two constructions with the verb of location estar and one with the
  verb of movement ir: <estar a punto de + Inf.>, <estar por + Inf.> and <ir a + Inf.>. A new
  approach is applied that views these constructions as a means of expressing the grammeme of
  the prospective in Spanish. The first part of the article contains an overview of the results of a
  corpus study of all three constructions which aims to clarify both diachronic and synchronic
  issues of the simultaneous functioning of three different means of expressing prospective
  semantics, their frequency, as well as the distribution of each construction in the Spanishspeaking
  area. The first part also offers a detailed comparative analysis of the semantics of
  two infinitive constructions with estar. It begins with the establishment of a characteristic
  restriction for both constructions on filling the infinitive slot with atelic lexemes (which
  makes them different from the construction with the motion verb) and ends with proposed
  interpretations of the semantics of both constructions with the verb of location. In the second
  part of the work, based on a review of descriptive grammars, theories, and corpus research,
  the prospective construction with the verb of movement ir is discussed, and (based on the
  results of a corpus study of all three constructions) a description of the prospective zone in
  Spanish is proposed from the position of general, i. e., typologically oriented, morphology and
  grammatical semantics.
