On <strong>the</strong> position of <strong>the</strong> OE quantifier eall and PDE all 115<br />
pronouns, regardless of <strong>the</strong> quantifier case. Only one to two percent exhibit <strong>the</strong><br />
‘full-NP-quantifier’ order. Second, nominative eall can ei<strong>the</strong>r precede or follow a<br />
pronoun whereas accusative eall cannot precede a pronoun with <strong>the</strong> exception of<br />
one case (cf. (14)). 7<br />
3.3 Floating quantifier eall<br />
So far we have seen examples in which <strong>the</strong> quantifier is adjacent to a full NP<br />
or a pronoun. This section shows examples in which <strong>the</strong> quantifier floats <strong>from</strong><br />
an element it modifies. 58 examples of floating quantifier eall were found.<br />
Among <strong>the</strong>m, nominative eall is found in 49 examples (84.5%) and nine examples<br />
(15.5%) contain accusative eall. Examples of each type are given in (16)<br />
and (17).<br />

a. Gelyfst ðu þæt we sceolon ealle arisan mid urum lichaman on<br />
believe thou that we shall all arise with our bodies on<br />
domes dæge togeanes criste.<br />
doom’s day towards Christ<br />
“Believest thou that we shall all arise with our bodies on doom’s day before<br />
Christ?” (ÆCHom II 27. 281)<br />
b. and ðeah hi ne magon beon ealle gegaderode;<br />
and though <strong>the</strong>y neg may be all ga<strong>the</strong>red<br />
“and though <strong>the</strong>y may not all be ga<strong>the</strong>red” (ÆCHom II 14.77)<br />
c. Næron hi swa þeah ealle endemes ungeleaffulle:<br />
not-were <strong>the</strong>y however all equally unbelieving<br />
“They were not, however, all equally unbelieving” (ÆCHom I 235.102)<br />
d. þi we sceolon ealle beon on gode gebroþru.<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore we should all be on God bro<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
“<strong>the</strong>refore should we all be bro<strong>the</strong>rs in God” (ÆCHom I 327. 47)<br />
e. and hi ða eodon ealle gewæpnode. and mid leohtfatum to ðam<br />
and <strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>n went all armed and with torches to <strong>the</strong><br />
lifigendum drihtne;<br />
living lord<br />
“and <strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>n went all armed and with torches to <strong>the</strong> Living Lord”<br />
(ÆCHom II 140.80)<br />
7. As pointed out by a reviewer, this one exception may be a mistake of scribal origin. Actually,<br />
in <strong>the</strong> manuscripts B, H, U, and V, <strong>the</strong> ‘pronoun-quantifier’ order was employed instead of <strong>the</strong><br />
‘quantifier-pronoun’ order in (14): hine al in B and hyne ealne in H, U, and V (Clemoes 1997:<br />
341). If <strong>the</strong> ‘quantifier-pronoun’ order in (14) were a scriber’s mistake, <strong>the</strong> contrast between<br />
nominative and accusative eall would be clearer.
