Oct 9, 2013 at 20:29 | comment | added | Cerberus | @StoneyB: Haha, thanks. It's interesting how so and that can be interchangeable even with do: in she did so / she did that, the manner in which she acts can be semantically/referentially identical to the thing she acts upon. This reminds me of how -ion and all other kinds of nouns of action can also mean both the act itself and the result of the act or something else related to the act (mainly, but not only, when used as a semantic theme?): the selection of wines took all day v. we have a large selection of wines. | |
