Quantifiers are determiners that give information about the quantity of the head noun in the NP, be it in terms of number (for countables in the plural: (a)few students, many votes, some reservations, both children, all employees, each year, every customer) or amount (for uncountables: (a) little patience, a lot of money, some information, any food, (not) much time). Many quantifiers can also be used as pronouns (He gave me some; I don’t want any). The terms indefinite determiner and indefinite pronoun are sometimes used to refer to quantifiers. (AEG Ch. 3)
