Grover, D. L. on Pronoun of Laziness - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 327 Pronoun/Prosentential Theory/Pronoun of Laziness/CGB/Camp, Grover, Belnap: A) Pronoun of Laziness: the pronoun of laziness had no reference, but the antecedent can itself be used. B) use as a quantifier: E.g. "If any car gets too hot, do not buy it." (It would be wrong to say: "Do not buy any car.") E.g. When 3 is an even number, just adding 1 gives an odd number - this is not an instance because 3 is not even. I 330 Everyday language: everyday language has shorter, but not generally available prosentences. Artificial: the operator "thatt" is artificial. See Anaphora, Pronouns, >Prosentential theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
