Online Duden and others seem to say this is a pronoun? Does this mean it is a pronoun>adjective?
It depends how it’s used.
One could argue that the first one is a pronoun, but the second one is hardly a pronoun as there’s a noun right behind it and the main feature of pronouns is that they REPLACE a noun.
And also in the first sentence, we can interpret it as an adjective in role of a noun.
Ultimately, this is an example for how these word types have “vague edges”. Some words are just kind of impossible to put in one or the other category without contradicting some of the definitions.
Hope that helps.
Thank you, excellent answer which confirms my previous thoughts around word classification by the grammar police. :)
