While the stereotypical proform is a pronoun and the stereotypical antecedent a noun or noun phrase, these examples demonstrate that most any syntactic category can in fact serve as an antecedent to a proform, whereby the proforms themselves are a diverse bunch.

To the point of your question, have a look at Syntax and Syntactic category ( although these are not too helpful, so far ) ( "'? "') 17 : 46, 21 Mar 2005 ( UTC)

Transitive, intransitive, passive, antipassive and'antipassive passive'in the language are syntactic categories, and are formed by the interplay of nominal and verbal morphology, clause / sentence-level characteristics such as word-order, and semantic considerations.
44.
Using the position of the prosodic boundaries, adults were able to determine which category the ambiguous word [ mT� ] belonged to, since the word is assigned to a different phonological phrase, depending on its syntactic category and semantic meaning in the sentence.
45.
Type 1 syntactic categories ( also called'syntactic unit categories') are sets of syntactic units of the idiolect system, and include the syntactic constituent categories as well as word form categories like parts of speech'of the idiolect system and their subcategories.
46.
Whatever the analysis of RNR, one has to acknowledge that the mechanism is flexible insofar it is not reliant on the presence of one specific type of syntactic category ( e . g . finite verb ), but rather it can occur at various levels of the syntactic structure.
47.
Among the syntactic entities postulated in Integrational Syntax for the syntactic part of arbitrary idiolect systems, there are : syntactic base forms, syntactic units, syntactic paradigms, lexical words, syntactic categories ( either syntactic unit categories or word categories ), syntactic structures, and syntactic functions.
48.
In turn, the function words can help learners determine the syntactic category of the neighboring words ( e . g ., learning that the word " the " [ �Y ] introduces a noun phrase, and that suffixes such as "-ed " require a verb to precede it ).
49.
The relationship between semantic and syntactic categories can then be used to iteratively create, test, and refine internal grammar rules until the child's understanding aligns with the language to which they are exposed, allowing for better categorization methods to be deduced as the child obtains more knowledge of the language.
50.
The claim is that the NP-analysis is challenged by this construction because it does not make a syntactic category available for the analysis of "-s ", that is, the NP-analysis does not have a clear means at its disposal to grant "-s " the status of determiner.
