The paper presents the special meanings and many-sided implications that can be conjectured from the use of a stative verb in the progressive, and the linguistic difficulties encountered in analysing McDonald’s slogan. It reviews the behaviour of to love when tested for stativeness and concludes that as a “progressive stative” verb it can be cleverly exploited for fresh emotional implications.
