This article re-examines the controversial shì...de construction, which will be shown to involve different types of structures, with different syntactic properties. The core of the analysis proposed in this paper is two folds: (a) shì is a copula, which selects a small clause (with a subject and a predicate), and (b) de marks the presence of two different non-overt operators (a generalized lamba-operator, and an assertion opera-tor). It is argued that the focus reading connected with shì is simply related to its copular/verbal property; it is also shown that phonological prominence can mark nar-row and contrast focus, which is argued to show syntactic reflex. 1
