Abstract
In previous research it was found that some native speakers of Dutch reject the combination of the partitive pronoun ER with an elliptical quantified adverbial NP, whereas others accept it. The goal of this paper is to investigate if the interspeaker variation might be due to variation in the syntactic analysis of the verb. On the basis of a Grammaticality Judgment Task on the acceptance of various types of attributive participles within the NP, this hypothesis is confirmed. To account for the interspeaker variation, a labeling analysis is proposed.
