metadata.value: In Latin, the present participle and the gerund frequently function as the predicate of an
  adjunct clause. Such clauses are syntactically dependent on a main clause, with which they
  form a bi-clausal construction. Under specific semantic and pragmatic circumstances, some
  of these constructions are interpreted based on a pragmatic inference: the main verb, which
  corresponds to a verb of existence, position, or movement, is deprived of its lexical meaning
  and acquires a grammatical function, viz. that of presenting the non-finite state of affairs as
  being in the middle of its realization. The repeated use and propagation of thusly interpreted
  constructions gave rise to a new construction, the progressive construction. I argue that the
  emergence of this construction corresponds to a constructionalization process, and that although
  this process has not been completed within Latin, many instances of the pattern [verb
  of existence/position/movement + present participle/gerund] instantiate a construction in its
  own right, viz. different from the bi-clausal construction that gave rise to it.
