Mandarin universal terms such as mei-NPs in preverbal positions usually require the presence of dou 'all/even'. This motivates the widely accepted idea from Lin (Nat Lang Semant 6:201-243, 1998) that Mandarin does not have genuine distributive universal quantifiers, and mei-NPs are disguised plural definites, which thus need dou-a distributive operator (or an adverbial universal quantifier in Lee (Studies on Quantification in Chinese. Ph. D. thesis, UCLA), Pan (in: Yufa Yanjiu Yu Tansuo [Grammatical Study and Research], vol 13, pp 163-184. The Commercial Press)-to form a universal statement. This paper defends the opposite view that mei-NPs are true universal quantifiers while dou is not. Dou is truth-conditionally vacuous but carries a presupposition that its prejacent is the strongest among its alternatives (Liu in Linguist Philos 40(1):61-95, 2017b). The extra presupposition triggers Maximize Presupposition (Heim in: Semantik: Ein internationales Handbuch der zeitgenssischen Forschung, pp 487-535. de Gruyter, Berlin, 1991), which requires [douS] block [S] whenever dou's presupposition is satisfied. This explains the mei-dou co-occurrence, if mei-NPs are universal quantifiers normally triggering individual alternatives (thus stronger than all the other alternatives). The proposal predicts a more nuanced distribution of obligatory-dou, not limited to universals and sensitive to discourse contexts.
普通话通用术语，如在言语前位置的“mei- np”，通常需要出现“all/even”。这促使Lin (Nat Lang Semant, 6:201-243, 1998)提出普通话中并没有真正的分布全称量词，而mei- np是变相的复数定义词，因此需要double -a分布算子(或Lee (Studies on Quantification in Chinese)中的状语全称量词)。潘博士论文，加州大学洛杉矶分校，(见:《语法研究》，第13卷，163-184页)。商务印书馆)——形成一个通用的声明。本文支持相反的观点，即mei- np是真正的全称量词，而dou不是。Dou是有条件的真理空洞，但它的前提是它的现形是其替代品中最强的(Liu in Linguist Philos 40(1):61- 95,2017b)。额外预设触发最大化预设(Heim in: Semantik: Ein internationales Handbuch der zeitgenssischen Forschung, pp 487-535)。de Gruyter, Berlin, 1991)，当dou的预设满足时，要求[dou S]阻塞[S]。这就解释了“美- np”共现现象，如果“美- np”是普遍量词，通常会触发单独的替代词(因此比所有其他替代词都强)。该提案预测了一种更微妙的强制性词汇分布，不局限于普遍性，对话语语境也很敏感。

A VP, AP, or NP in a predicate can undergo a clause-internal movement in Mandarin Chinese (e.g., Ta yaomai shuqu ‘He wants to buy books’, Tashoude hen ‘He is very thin’, and Ta shibendanyi ge ‘He is a fool’). The pfmoving element must be predicative, and the landing site must be lower than any functional element in the IP-domain of the clause. The paper shows that there is a formal dependency between a low functional head and the predicate in the clausal spine. The exponents of the functional head for stative predicates are different from those for non-stative predicates, and the predicative category that is attracted by the functional head carries a stativity feature. Similar predicate raising can be obligatory and can land above a subject if the latter remains in situ in some languages. Moreover, the stativity contrasts of predicates are morphologically visible in some languages. The paper severs the syntactic licensing of predicates from the syntactic licensing of other parts of a clause, arguing that while subjects need their formal features such as Case to be licensed, predicates need their stativity feature to be licensed. In both cases, licensing of an element can be achieved by either its relation to a local c–commanding functional head or the movement of an element that bears the relevant feature to the Spec of the functional head.
谓语中的VP、AP、NP在普通话中会发生子句内部运动(例如:Ta yaomai shuqu“He want to buy books”，Tashoude“He is very thin”，以及Ta shibendanyi ge“He is A fool”)。pfmoving元素必须是谓语式的，并且着陆点必须低于子句ip域中的任何功能元素。本文表明，在小句脊柱中，低功能头部与谓词之间存在形式依赖关系。静态谓词的功能头的指数与非静态谓词的指数不同，并且功能头所吸引的谓词类别具有静态特征。类似的谓语提升可以是强制性的，并且在某些语言中，如果主语保持原位，谓语提升可以落在主语之上。此外，在某些语言中，谓语的静态对比在形态学上是可见的。本文将谓词的句法许可从子句其他部分的句法许可中分离出来，认为主语需要其形式特征(如格)得到许可，谓词需要其静态特征得到许可。在这两种情况下，元素的许可可以通过其与本地c命令功能头的关系来实现，也可以通过移动与功能头的Spec具有相关特征的元素来实现。
