In linguistics, a pro-verb is a verb or partial phrase that substitutes for a contextually recognizable verb phrase (via a process known as grammatical gapping), obviating the need to repeat an antecedent verb phrase.[1] A pro-verb is a type of anaphora that falls within the general group of word classes called pro-forms.
