Restrictions on the use of "double le" in chinese

Résumé

This paper look at the use of double LE in Standard Chinese (Mandarin) in the aspecutal marking of the predicate and its effects on sentential meaning. "Double LE" is used here as a label to denote sentences where the two homonymous but functionally different morphemes LE in Chinese co-occur, namely, verbal, perfective -le (< liǎo 'finish') which marks the verb, acting as an (atonal) suffix and the modal particle, sentence-final LE (< lái 'come', cf. Chao 1968:246) which marks the predicate as a whole with an inchoative function.
