'''Quantificational noun phrase''' is a [[noun phrase]] which in [[LF]] [[move]]s into an [[A-bar position]], [[binding]] its [[trace]] the way an [[operator]] binds a [[variable]].

=== Example ===

if sentence (i)a means that for every girl it is the case that he gave her a book, its LF looks like (i)b where the quantificational noun phrase ''every girl'' is moved into an A-bar position, leaving behind a variable x and taking scope over ''a book'', and is decomposed into the 'quantifier' ''every x'' and its restriction ''x a girl''.

<nowiki>
(i) a he gave a book to every girl
b [[every x, x a girl] [he gave a book to x]]
