"L-tous", restructuring and quantifier climbing

The aim of this paper is to investigate the distribution of the object quantifier tout/tutto in French and Italian. Although in both languages this quantifier can appear in a “low” derived position (which will be argued to be one and the same in both languages), French displays an additional option: in some biclausal structures, tout can optionally appear in a high derived position (e.g. (1)), a structure known as “Quantifier Climbing”.
