Coercion (linguistics)

In linguistics, coercion is when the grammatical context causes the language-user to reinterpret all or parts of the semantic and/or formal features of a lexeme that appears in it.

Coercion is closely related to the notions of active zone, construal/conceptualization, and syntactic accommodation^{[disambiguation needed ]} known from various schools within the cognitive linguistics movement.
