In this paper we comment on the maximality approach to Mandarin Chinese  dou  initiated by  Giannakidou &amp; Cheng (2006)  and modified by  Xiang (2008) , showing that the approach fails (1) to explain several linguistic phenomena (e.g. the interaction between  na  ‘which’-phrases and  dou , the distributive effect of  dou , and the exclusiveness of  dou ), (2) makes incorrect predictions concerning the interpretations of  dou -sentences, and (3) suffers from various theoretical problems (e.g. compositional difficulty). After refuting the maximality approach, the paper argues that treating  dou  as a device for encoding universal quantification gives the above issues a more cogent explanation, has a wider coverage of language data, and also avoids the theoretical problems with the maximality approach.
