;. De and . Xiang, comme ceux de la contruction lián?y?/d?u. Dans la paire d'exemples en (110), d?u apparaît sans la co-présence de lián et les phrases ont toujours une interprétation scalaire 'même'. Selon Badan, d?u apparaît aussi souvent dans les contextes scalaires, 2008.

. Zh?ngs?n,

, Zhangsan dimanche tout travailler 'Zhangsan travaille même LE DIMANCHE

. Badan, justifie l'existence permanente de lián dans la construction 'même' par le contraste d'interprétation montré en (111b) et (111c), Lorsque lián et d?u sont tous présents, p.23, 2008.

, comme en (111a), la phrase s'interprète directement comme 'Zhangsan a lu même ces livres

. Néanmoins, lorsque lián est absent, la phrase est ambiguë selon l'élément dans la phrase qui porte l'accent. Si le NP précédant d?u porte l'accent, soit zhèxi?sh? 'ces livres' ici, la phrase donne forcément l'interprétation 'même', ceci conforme à la valeur informationnelle [Focus] de la position Badan (2008) se concentre seulement sur d?u dans son article

, Dans le même ordre d'idée que l'exemple (111), si c'est le NP focalisé qui porte l'accent, la phrase donne l'interprétation 'même', identique à la phrase avec la présence de lián. Si c'est y? qui porte l'accent

. Ainsi, il est facile de comprendre la fonction de minimiseur de y?di?nr dans ce genre de faisant, y?di?nr, dénotant une valeur minimale

. Au-contraire, la la valeur assertée est (beaucoup) plus importante que d'autres valeurs alternatives sur l'échelle. Dans un contexte approprié, la valeur indiquée par y?di?nr peut être importante. Prenons (137a) comme exemple. La phrase exprime que le locuteur ne décevra pas son entraîneur à moins qu'il obtienne d'assez bons résultats, quand nous avons affaire à des conditionnelles marquées par cái, cf. (137)

, Dans la figure 12, y?di?nr occupe une position qui s'éloigne de l'extrémité basse de l'échelle
