ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I examine tiědìng in detail. I present data of tiědìng and compare them with those of yídìng. I show two points in this chapter. First, tiědìng and yídìng share the dynamic semantics (44) proposed in Chapter 3, while tiědìng has its unique constraint on its dynamic semantics. Second, tiědìng and yídìng differ in terms of two semantic properties. First, tiědìng has a default strong epistemic necessity reading, but yídìng does not. Second, tiědìng allows only for intra-sentential resolution, but yídìng is compatible both intra- and inter-sentential resolution.
