This paper shows that the opposition between stage-level and individual- level predications is instrumental in understanding the functioning of two different types of focus constructions in Chinese. In my view, the lian...уе/dou construction is not contrastive, while the shi... de construction is. Both constructions are sensitive to the semantics of the VPs with which they co-occur.

When shi. ..de cleaves on a time adverbial, the VP which follows it must be a stage-level predicate.Cette recherche montre que l'opposition entre prédication transitoire et prédication caractéristique opère en construction avec deux types d'opérateurs de fo...
