Abstract
Concealed question noun phrases headed by the definite article have been analysed as contributing the intension of the noun phrase -an individual concept- as semantic argument of the verb. Concealed questions with quantifiers challenge this analysis. Several empirical observations will be presented and an analysis will be sketched that treats this quantification as external to the concealed question itself, making it parallel to quantificational adverbs with interrogative clauses and plural individuals. This way, the basic individual concept analysis is maintained. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
