However, we argue that despite the possibility of appearing in either V1 or V2 position of an SVC as in (6)-(8) and Table 1, Chinese aspectual markers do not have an even distribution in SVCs; but rather, le and zhe, which are indicators of headedness, are more frequently suffixed to V2, whereas the non-head marker zhe is more frequently found with V1.
although Chinese SVCs can have either V1 or V2 as the head, it is more likely for V2 to be the head.
