The work has explored some indefinite quantifiers in English. The study of these indefinite quantifiers has important implications for semantics, syntax, and morphology. This first chapter summarizes the morphological use of some indefinite quantifiers, whereas the next one deals with the syntactic analysis. One significant finding is that most languages have indefinite quantifiers and their shapes are fairly uniform across languages. In particular, these quantifiers are divided into two types: either derived from interrogative pronouns by the means of an indefiniteness marker or based on generic nouns such as ‘person’ or ‘thing’. The study has also shown that functional explanations are prominent in negative indefinite pronouns, and that the regularities of diachronic change are explained by the theory of grammaticalization. The main synchronic typological generalizations took the form of universal implications among different functions of indefinite quantifiers. The purpose of the research enable to the non native speakers of English to know and understand the usage of any indefinite quantifiers in a sentence.
