Pronominal can be used either to describe something related to a pronoun or to mean a phrase that acts as a pronoun in the context of nominal. An example of the second case is, "I want that kind". The phrase "that kind" stands in for a noun phrase, or nominal, that can be deduced from context, and is thus categorized as a pronominal. Similarly, the phrase "living there" is a pronominal in the sentence "Living there is very expensive".
