Determiners, prototypically involved in building generalised quantifiers, syntactically combine with nominal elements. The things that constitute the DI are typically expressed by nominals. However, they are not the only things that can be quantified over. The present paper discusses the quantification of events and an analogy between locative sentences in the spatial and temporal domains, in the spirit of Partee’s (1973, 1984) observations of analogies between tenses and pronouns.

We show that Australian languages have a variety of quantificational expressions; of particular interest is the variety of morphosyntactic strategies that these languages use for expressing quantificational concepts.
