What is the meaning of arrogative?
Definition
adj (English)
1. (linguistics) Exhibiting scope arrogation; expanding the scope of a word to refer to more of a sentence than the minimal possibility.Examples: "The non-do-supported forms of dare and need tend to favour arrogative and necessitative (or non-arrogative and non-necessitative) interpretation, and thus are less clearly distinct from deontic, and in the case of need, epistemic interpretations."; "Symmetric scope arrogation would seem to be a feature of some commutative conjunctively distributive uses of 'or'. as well as some cases where 'or' conjunctively joins whole sentences, but not all conjunctive occurrences of 'or' are symmetrically arrogative."
