Previous works, whether from a syntactic, semantic or functional point of view, have not succeeded in a full account of the properties of Japanese quantifier floating, because the factual evidence presented is not sufficient to support their claims. In particular, the case of a quantified argument preceded by some modifying phrase tends to be a counterexample to their proposals. Based on the analysis of the actual instances of floated quantifiers collected from some written texts, I will point out that the concept of "relative newness" should be taken into account : a floated quantifier must carry relatively newer information than its antecedent., Numeral quantifier floating in Japanese is generally said to be restricted to the subject of intransitive verbs and the object of transitive verbs.
