I. Introduction

"Progressive aspect" was originally a grammatical term, and its explanation in "Encyclopedia of Linguistics" (Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House,1April 1993, Qiyu Village, etc., page 238) is as follows: Progressive aspect, a kind of verb aspect. It mainly indicates the progress of action, not the occurrence of action or the existence of state. The action it represents is lasting, temporary and unfinished. "The continuous expression in Chinese means: ongoing, ongoing, and in some cases it will be expressed by netizens with ING (Baidu Encyclopedia)." Its corresponding English form is "progressive" or "continuous", which refers to a grammatical category, indicating that the action is incomplete, ongoing or developing. (Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, p. 369)

In recent years, the usage of "X+ continuous tense" has appeared in domestic news media, online language and commercial advertisements, and its scope of use is expanding, gradually evolving into a strong buzzword. This paper investigates and analyzes this language form from the aspects of composition, distribution, semantics and motivation.

Second, the composition of "X+ continuous" sentence pattern

Li Yuming first put forward the concept of "word model" in 1999, pointing out that word model is a variety of frameworks with the function of creating new words, which belongs to the word formation category. This kind of frame consists of two parts: "mold mark" and "mold groove". Template refers to the unchangeable words in the word model, and mold slot refers to the blank in the word model. The production capacity of fonts is very strong, and each font can produce a large number of characters. (Li Yuming, 1999)
