Abstract: I investigate the claim that some of the semantic properties that Qs intrinsically display have an important impact on their external syntax. In order to do so, I consider intervention effects in more detail. Universal Quantifiers (∀Qs) (positive and negative) are used as (potential) interveners, while wh-phrases in-situ and un N are the (potential) moving elements. I show that the scope possibilities of these latter Qs with respect to ∀Qs as well as to negation call for an analysis in terms of locality.
