Visser (1973:1968) gives a long list of verbs “more or less incompatible” with the progressive that have this in common: in their general sense
they do not express a real activity . . . In order to account for their use in the expanded form one ought to go in quest of the various senses and sub-senses that are tinged with a notion — however slight — of activity. (1973:1969)

Chomsky (1981, 1986b) formulates the Theta Criterion so that it prohibits non-argument NPs such as the expletives it and there from occurring in theta-marked positions. One consequence of this formulation is that raising-to-object analyses for (1) are disallowed because they would permit an expletive to occupy an object position, a position which is theta-marked by the verb:
1. John believes there to be a woman outside.
