Abstract Hsu (2010) proposes the following syntactic licensing condition with respect to the dou-quantification in Mandarin Chinese: dou-quantification is possible iff a chain <α_i, dou_i, e_i> is formed, in w...hich α_i c-commands dou and dou c-commands e_i, which is an empty category coindexed with α_i and contained in the vP internal position. This paper argues against Hsu (2010) by showing that some of the observations put forth in Hsu (2010) are inadequate: (ⅰ) dou-quantification over the subject DP is sometimes possible in spite of the fact that dou does not c-command the trace position of the subject DP; (ⅱ) dou-quantification over a topicalized DP becomes impossible when the topicalized DP does not have a θ-position in vP; (ⅲ) dou-quantification over a topicalized DP is sometimes impossible in spite of the fact that it has a coindexed empty category within vP.show more
