Problems of number inConsistency arise in Italian when singular distributive quantifiers float rightward off of subjects, leaving these subjects plural. The inConsistency arises in the presence of adjectives, participles, and pronominal forms. Different proposals are discussed here for ordering adjective agreement and participle agreement with respect to Quantifier Floating, and different theories of pronominalization phenomena are also discussed. It is shown that significant generalizations about number Consistency can be captured only if a particular ordering for agreement rules and Quantifier Floating is assumed ALONG WITH a particular theory of pronominalization. Thus the data presented here suggest that agreement phenomena and pronominalization must be related
