'ALL' - what word class / sentence element?
Dear users
please have a look at the following sentence:
If there's any trouble with the captain, you're all with me!
My question is: what word class/sentence element is 'ALL' in this sentence?
My guess is that 'ALL' is a pronoun and as such functions as subject predicative (subject complement), 'WITH ME' being a modifier of 'ALL'.
Contributions appreciated!

"You" is clearly the pronoun (subject of the clause), leaving "all" as the adjectival modifier, IMHO. )

(I suppose some might call "you all" a compound noun.)
