This research increased the syntactic-semantic analysis of inalienable possession structures presented in Mendes (2015), observing their behavior in Brazilian Portuguese acquisition data in structures quantified by todo(a), todos(as) os(as) e cada, as there seems to be a complementary distribution between the interpretations available in those constructions according to their combination with the quantifiers that introduce the possessor and the element that modifies the possessed. According to Lopes (2014) and Algave (2009), quantified inalienable possessive structures would present, with definite determiners, a preference for distributive interpretation linked to an inalienable reading and, with possessive pronouns, to a variant interpretation.
