초록
Based on the observation that the distinction of stage-level and individual-level predicates is determined not solely by lexical properties but also by pragmatic factors, contra Kratzer (1989) and Diesing (1992), I suggest reviving a unified topical structure, in which categorical and thetic statements are both analyzed as having topics, i.e., individual topics and event topics. It turns out that the unified topical structure provides a more flexible tool for us to explain some exceptional behaviors of stage-level and individual-level predicates.
