LE in Standard Chinese may occur post-verbally, sentence-finally or both. Present study advocates that Standard Chinese has only one LE with one single meaning and function. Operator LE provides an impulse for change in dynamics, but because it is operating on different levels and is interacting with other lexical means, it manifests itself in a variety of different readings. Despite of the apparent polysemy, operator LE always gives zero-to-one impulse to stative environments, and one-to-zero impulse to dynamic environments. According to the principle of compatibility, operator LE is expected in only those environments that are "at least potentially dynamic". Namely, stative environments that do not allow to undergo changes are not compatible with operator LE.
