This paper deals with floating quantifiers (FQ) in English and investigates how the syntactic and semantic characteristics of floating quantifiers can be explained within the framework of the Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar.
to Maling (1976), Sportiche (1988), McCawley (1998), and Haegemann & Gudron (1999), who posit the movement of either the quantifier or the host noun phrase, this paper presents an analysis in which a floating quantifier is base-generated as a VP modifier.
