This collection of papers is devoted to recent ideas on quantification in a wide variety of languages. Two types of quantificational strategies are particularly considered: one associated with nominal structures and determiners, the other with adverbial and other non-nominal expressions (`D-quantifiers' and `A-quantifiers'). The volume demonstrates the relevance of quantificational structures in natural language. Many of the papers offer new interesting contributions to questions of language typology, syntactic and morphological variation. The languages discussed include English, Dutch, Italian, American Sign Language, Hindi, and a number of languages of Australia, Greenland, and the Americas.

Abstract
This collection of papers is devoted to recent ideas on quantification in a wide variety of languages. Two types of quantificational strategies are particularly considered: one associated with nominal structures and determiners, the other with adverbial and other non-nominal expressions (`D-quantifiers' and `A-quantifiers'). The volume demonstrates the relevance of quantificational structures in natural language. Many of the papers offer new interesting contributions to questions of language typology, syntactic and morphological variation.
