After coming across the distinction between 知る and 知っている I was rather confused at first since I was not looking at things this way. But through this I came across the concept of state verb (stative verbs, non-progressive verbs) that is never used in progressive form (the -ing form) and the action verbs (dynamic verbs) that can be used in progressive form. There are also verbs that can be both.

Thus in English to hate, to like, to dislike are all state verbs and to say I am liking or I am loving is grammatically incorrect.

Now I shall get to the point. Where can I find a list of State verbs vs Progressive verbs of Japanese Language?

Besides this, could show kindly show me the distinction of:
vt (state) + te iru
vt (progressive) + te iru
vi (state) + te iru
vi (progressive) + te iru ??

I am sorry that I am forced to post this here, but I think this is rather an interesting topic.

The appendix 2 of the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar has such a list. Couldn't find anything as clean online (brief search). So what you can do is get the DOBJG (I remember there used to be a torrent/DDL of it (though it was a bit hard to decipher at times)) and print the appendix. I bet DO(IA)JG also have it (fuller?).

I have found the book and am reading the Appendix 2. The fact that there isn't much online is the reason that I have posted this on here.
I am trying to figure out how adding the auxiliary verb -iru to all these different categories of verbs can change its meaning.
