(Note that "daremo", "nanimo" and "dokomo" are universal quantifiers with positive verbs.) The following chart shows comparison between English, French (irregular) and Japanese (regular): They may be regular or irregular also depending on languages. Note that some categories are regular and some are not.
The table of correlatives for English follows.
Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, called a table of systematic interrogative, demonstrative, and quantifier pro-forms and determiners in a language a table of correlatives, after the relative and demonstrative pro-forms, which function together as correlatives. The rules governing allowable syntactic relations between certain pro-forms (notably personal and reflexive/reciprocal pronouns) and their antecedents have been studied in what is called binding theory. Īn interrogative pro-form is a pro-form that denotes the (unknown) item in question and may itself fall into any of the above categories. A pro-sentence substitutes an entire sentence or subsentence: Yes, or that as in " That is true".A pro-verb substitutes a verb or a verb phrase: do, as in: "I will go to the party if you do".A pro-adverb substitutes an adverb or a phrase that functions as an adverb: how or this way.A pro-adjective substitutes an adjective or a phrase that functions as an adjective: so as in "It is less so than we had expected.".A pronoun substitutes a noun or a noun phrase, with or without a determiner: it, this.Pro-forms are divided into several categories, according to which part of speech they substitute: They are used either to avoid repetitive expressions or in quantification (limiting the variables of a proposition). In linguistics, a pro-form is a type of function word or expression that stands in for (expresses the same content as) another word, phrase, clause or sentence where the meaning is recoverable from the context.
