Can all be used as a demonstrative pronoun?

No, "all" cannot be used as a demonstrative pronoun.

Demonstrative pronouns point to specific things or people. They are:

* This

* That

* These

* Those

"All" is a quantifier. It indicates a whole quantity or number.

Here's an example to illustrate the difference:

* Demonstrative pronoun: "This is my favorite book." (This refers to a specific book)

* Quantifier: "All the students passed the test." (All refers to the entire group of students)
