영문 초록

This paper purposes to analyse the configurational structures of floating quantifiers, and thereby reveal the proper grammatical features of floating quantifiers. I will review the general properties of floating quantifiers presented in Baltin (1995), Sportiche (1988), Giuliana Giusti (1989), and Ur Shlonsky (1991), and show the relations between NP movement and floating quantifiers in the framework of the minimalist program. Using the evidence that subjects originate in spec-VP, I will show how a floating quantifier ends up modifying the trace of a moved NP, and why a quantifier floated further away form the phrase it quantifies results in lower gram- maticality.
