 Re: 201-proverb in linguistics
I don't think maltilda wants to know about proverbs -- she wants to know about pro-verbs, which are different.
A pro-verb is like a pronoun, but for verbs and verb phrases, not for nouns. It is a word or construction which takes the place of a verb phrase.
An example of a pro-verb is "do", as here:
Peter plays basketball, and so does Jane. |
