First, there is contrastive information in the context specifying whether a proposition holds; second, a proposition holds at a time but not at a later time; and third, a proposition does not hold at a time but holds at a later time. The semantics of utilizes the first two ways and the semantics of yuaniai uses all three. In terms of the last two, shows one-way contrast while demonstrates two-way contrast. Keywords: beniai, yuaniai, contrast, semantics, Mandarin Chinese et yuaniai impliquent tous deux un contraste quant a la validite d'une proposition a differents moments. Soit le contexte specifie par des informations contrastives si une proposition est vraie, so it la proposition est vraie a un moment donne mais ne I' est plus au moment suivant, soit la proposition est vraie a un moment donne mais ne I' etait pas precedemment. La semantique de beniai peut jouer sur les deux premiers types de contraste, celle
