17.2. The pro-forms so and not in verbs of saying and in cognitive verbs

The pro-form so gets the functor appropriate to the valency modification it substitutes and a coreference arrow will point to its antecedent predication.

(John hasn't found a job yet). He told me so.EFF yesterday.

The pro-form not becomes the negative rhematizer #Neg.RHEM and is governed by the copied predication. Obligatory valency modifications are to be inserted and provided with coreference arrows pointing to their respective antecedents.

(John says he.ACT will get a job.PAT tomorrow.) I think not. = I think #PersPron.ACT will #Neg.RHEM get #PersPron.PAT.
