A discussao sobre o quantificador todo em sentencas do Portugues Brasileiro (doravante PB) com SN definido singular na posicao de sujeito, como em O menino ta todo triste, visa descrever uma particularidade semântica do PB e utiliza-la para esclarecer e questionar a pertinencia da distincao formulada inicialmente por Partee (1995) entre quantificacao-A e quantificacao-D. A tese central e de que a distincao e pertinente porque a semântica do todo-A e do todo-D nao e a mesma. Abstract The paper discusses the quantifier todo in Brazilian Portuguese (PB from now on) sentences which are composed out of a defined singular nominal phrase in subject position, as in O menino ta todo triste. It aims at clarifying and questioning the necessity of the distinction, formulated by Partee (1995), between A quantifier and D quantifier, and concludes that such a distinction is pertinent because the semantics of todo-A is not the same as the semantics of todo-D.
