FLOATING
QUANTIFIER
Normally the quantifier is in front of the noun it is bound to (forming
a noun phrase). But there are some who can move from this
position and occupy various positions in the sentence. The name for
such a quantifier is a floating quantifier, while the rule that states
the various positions that a quantifier can have is called a floating
quantifier.

All, both, and each are floating quantifiers provided that the noun
they delimit is a definite noun (obviously what is meant).
