Abstract
Previous studies have shown that laizhe can be compatible with some types of verbs, and that it is related to a certain concept of past tense. However, there is no consensus about the exact conditions that allow laizhe to surface in a sentence. This study argues that simply examining verbal semantics is insufficient to identifying the use and functions of laizhe, and instead investigates them from the perspective of MARVS-theory event types. This new approach establishes that predicates compatible with laizhe often express an event from a prior time point that, while recent, is still different from the time of the conversation. Thus, two fundamental attributes are needed to account for the distribution of laizhe: that is, the timing of the expression of (1) temporal gaps, and/or (2) different stage-level properties associated with the subject of a sentence.
