In this contrastive study, we compare English quantifiers with their equivalents in French and Arabic, based on a corpus that includes English scholarly articles and their translations in the two other languages. We first present the English quantifiers in sub-categories. Then we study, analyze and comment on them and their French and Arabic equivalents in a set of examples. In conclusion, we formulate generalizations that will help learners and translators of these languages to foster their understanding of the quantifiers and to find good equivalents in different contexts.
