This book is the first extensive study on French Quantification
in the field of Syntax. It provides a typology of four main
quantified noun phrases in French (existential, universal, negative
and "wh-"), detailing their syntactic, semantic and prosodic
behaviors and showing that they can be reduced to two classes
Split-DP structures or Floating quantification.
Relying on syntax and semantics, the book establishes a
three-way structural typology of "wh" in-situ phrases and extends
it to existentials. It pays special attention to the prosodic
properties associated with their different readings and proposes an
analysis of the distribution of subextraction and pied-piping.
Similarly based on semantic and syntactic tests, the book reveals
N(egative) words to be universal Quantifiers. It proposes a new
structure of N-words in terms of constituent negation and includes
a detailed analysis of the difference between "not an N" and "not
all the N" in French.
