Like English again, Mandarin you 'again' has repetitive ("the event has happened before") and restitutive ("the resulting state has held before") readings. This paper notes a newly observed "scope skipping" effect of you, dubbed 'again' skipping, as well as a restriction on the availability of the readings of you. It offers an explanation in terms of interpretive options sensitive to reconstruction and, paying particular attention to Romance languages, discusses the crosslinguistic implications of 'again' skipping.
