ADJECTIVE PRONOUNS.
Function of adjective pronouns.
131. Most of the words how to be considered are capable of a double use,—they may be pure modifiers of nouns, or they may stand for nouns. In the first use they are adjectives; in the second they retain an adjective meaning, but have lost their adjective use. Primarily they are adjectives, but in this function, or use, they are properly classed as adjective pronouns.
The following are some examples of these:—
Some say that the place was bewitched.—Irving.
That mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.
—Bryant.
How happy is he born or taught
That serveth not another's will.
—Wotton
That is more than any martyr can stand.—Emerson.
Caution.
Adjectives, not pronouns.
