In this article I present an analysis of the distribution of floating numeral classifiers (weak quantifiers) and strong quantifiers in Japanese. I show a case in which (weak) quantifiers have been assumed to be excluded due to the lack of the structural association with the host NP, but it is improved significantly if they are replaced with strong quantifiers such as zen'in 'all'. In order to explain the asymmetric behavior between strong and weak quantifiers, I use Diesing's (1992) Mapping Hypothesis, which is slightly modified in accordance with Chomsky's (2000, 2001) Phase theory. The existential and universal variations are cyclically derived at the Phase level (νP and CP). Consequently, operations such as LF-undoing and LF reconstruction can be obviated.
