This paper argues against Direct Analysis approaches to the Mandarin bǐ comparative construction. Instead, I propose that the derivation of a bǐ comparative involves the construction of two full TPs: one for the target and one for the standard. This view is motivated by comparatives where material has moved simultaneously from the predicate into the target and into the standard, which are difficult to capture within a Direct Analysis. A technical implementation of this proposal is presented in which common material in the two TPs' predicates is obligatorily multidominated.
