Abstract
This thesis shows that although ge (‘each’), gezi (‘separately’), gebie (‘individually’) and fenbie (‘respectively’) all bring a distributivity reading to the sentences in which they occur, they behave differently. I propose that these four distributivity operators have different domains to range over (in Choe’s term, the distributed share). The distributed share of ge is an individual or quantity since there is always an indefinite phrase; the distributed share of gezi is events, since evidence shows that gezi has to range over different events instead of one single events; the distributed share of gebie and fenbie are both the verbal property VP. Moreover, I show that although these four distributivity operators share several properties, each of them still has some requirements of its own.
