Thanks to Carl and Jonathan for their responses.
Carl, I wonder if you or someone else on the list would be kind enough show
some other examples of a demonstrative pronoun (or relative, for that matter)
refering, not to a noun but to an entire clause (or rather, to a conception
expressed in a larger phrase or clause). Also, could you direct me to a
discussion of this phenomenon in Smyth and/or BDF? Thanks in advance.
God Bless,
Rev. Craig R. Harmon.
