Le gérondif espagnol et son homonyme français : quelles équivalences ?/El gerundio y su homónimo francés: equivalencias y diferencias/The Gerund form in Spanish and in French: what kind of equivalence?

This paper is a contribution to the analysis of duration and progressive form in Spanish and in French. We approach the topic comparatively. We focus on verbal circumlocutions construed with stative verbs. Our aim is to show when and how the Spanish gerund actually corresponds to the French gerund (gérondif).
