given in (8) and (9). In what follows the quantifier eall is in boldface, and its related
elements are in bold italics.
(8) nominative eall and full NP following it (234 exx.)
a. Hit ne mihte eall mancyn gedon gif he sylf nolde;
it neg might all mankind do if he self not-would
“All mankind could not have done it, if he himself had not willed it;”
(ÆCHom I 343.238)
b. Nabbað ealle men gelice gife æt gode; for þan ðe he forgifð þa
not-have all men like grace at God because he gives the
gastlican geþincþu. ælcum be his gecnyrdnyssum;
ghostly honours each about his endeavours
“All men have not like grace from God, for he gives ghostly honours to
every one according to his endeavours.” (ÆCHom I 376.151)
(9) nominative eall and full NP preceding it (3 exx.)
a. his neb bið gerifod. 7 his leomu ealle gewæhte;
his face is wrinkled and his limbs all afflicted
“his face [is] wrinkled, and his limbs all afflicted;” (ÆCHom I 528.113)
b. ac gif we ða modru acwellað. þonne beoð heora bearn
but if we the mothers kill then are their children
ealle adydde;
all destroyed
“but if we kill the mothers, then will all their children be destroyed”
(ÆCHom II 124.491)
c. Þa ongunnon ða gelaðedan ealle hi beladian;
then began the invited all them excuse
“Then the invited people all began to make excuses.” (ÆCHom II 213.6)
The quantifier in (8) precedes the full NP and in (9) it follows it. Out of the 237
examples, 234 are of the former type while only three are of the latter type.
Next we take examples with accusative eall and a full NP it modifies. As in the
case of nominative eall, the ‘quantifier-full-NP’ order is dominant. In 377 out of
383 examples the quantifier precedes a full NP, as in (10) while only six exhibit the
‘full-NP-quantifier’ order, as in (11).
(10) accusative eall and full NP following it (377 exx.)
a. Ealle ðas word spræc se symeon be ðam cylde to þam
all these words spoke the Simeon about the child to the
heofenlican fæder; þe hine to mannum sende;
heavenly father who him to men sent
“All these words concerning the child, Simeon spake to the heavenly Father,
who sent him to men.” (ÆCHom I 253.139)
