English Floating Quantifier Constructions: A Non-movement Approach Jong-Bok Kim and Jung-Soo Kim ∗ Kyung Hee University Jong-Bok Kim and Jung-Soo Kim. 2009. English Floating Quantifier Constructions: A Non-movement Approach. Language and Information 13.1 , 57–75. English floating quantifiers (FQ) are both limited and complex in the sense that they are introduced by a limited set of words, all , both , and each , and display free distributional possibilities. This paper provides a non- movement approach to the syntax of English floating quantifier constructions. The non-movement analysis we develop here is different from stranding move- ment analyses in that all the FQs are base-generated while the linkage with their antecedent refers to grammatical features such as subj and prd. The analysis avoids the postulation of abstract levels as well as empty elements in capturing the flexibility of English FQ constructions, making the grammar of English simpler.

Introduction English floating quantifier (FQ) constructions are both limited and complex in the sense that they are introduced by a limited set of words, all , both , and each . One salient property of the constructions is that they display free distributional possibilities as illustrated in (1): (1) a. All the students have stayed in the same hotel and taken their meals together. b. The students all have stayed in the same hotel and taken their meals together. c. The students have all stayed in the same hotel and taken their meals together. ∗ An earlier version of this paper was presented at Northwest Linguistics Conference 2009, at UBC, Vancouver.
