AB - This paper has two purposes：One is to examine the differences of two Korean progressive markers ‘-go itta’(-고 있다), ‘-neun joongida’(-는 중이다), the other is to illuminate the grammaticalization of the two progressive form, and to explain the differences between the two forms by ‘-neun joongida’ construction's property triggering the sister-member situations which is due to the etymological meaning of ‘joong’(middle). The two progressive aspect forms differ in allowing time adverb, in negative sentences, and in resultative aspects etc. I discussed the grammaticalization of the two types. ‘-Go itta’ was grammaticalized by the manner schema(X stays in Y manner), and ‘-neun joongida’ was grammaticalized by the locative schema(X is at Y). The meanings of grammaticalized forms are affected by the etymology of elements of the form. ‘Joong’(middle) in the ‘-neun joongida’ construction presupposes the other parts which are not middle pragmatically. Therefore in ‘-neun joongida’ progressive form presupposes the other situations which are the sister members of it, so in ‘-neun joongida’ sentences the V1 situations functions as figure and it's sister-members function as ground. Resultantly all the differences between the two progressive forms can be explained by the facts that the later presupposes the sister-members which has time span in the whole situation as ground.
