      <br>
      Yes, but I'm suggest that "pro-" is "pronomial" not "proto"!-)&nbsp;
      Generally, don't we want elipsis to be reflected in the
      semantics?&nbsp; That is, in the "u" and "i" type variables in the MRS
      (or unresolved pronouns)?<br>
      <br>
      Shouldn't the MRS for for that doing have an argument to be
      resolved against the situational argument for the moving?&nbsp; That
      argument would be "so" treated as a pronoun, which seems the
      proper semantics since the "so" actually/semantically references
      some event/situation, no?&nbsp; That is, if pronomial "so" was the
      direct object of "do" here, I think all would be well.<br>

        <div>It looks like "do so" is being treated as a "pro-verb", and

              <div>Hi All,<br>
                <br>
                In the following, it seems that "so" is more of a
                pronoun than a preposition (at least it seems "so" to
                me!).<br>
                <br>
                I would appreciate your thoughts on getting reasonable
                logic from the ERG for this sentence, which is quite
                interesting when you also consider quantification...<br>
