Misappropriation

Misappropriation, since appropriation is a question of discourse, relatively overlaps with misattribution. Some times a misattribution of meaning has been called misappropriation. (Eiríksson, 2021).
Misappropriating specificity
==== Misappropriating generality ====
Misappropriating generality is e.g. when someone says to a person "I like how you think" and the person thinks it must mean that the speaker now must like every thought that person has or has ever had. Amazingly, this type of error, indeed misappropriation, is hair-tearingly common. (Eiríksson 2021). This unconscious assumption, or reference to it, is seen in cases where the person later says "but I thought you liked how I think," as if someone saying they like how a person thinks to a specific instance had meant all thoughts at all times (Eiríksson 2021).Published just now, here, Collegium.
====== Misappropriating meaning ======
Misappropriating meaning overlaps with misattributing meaning, since to misappropriate a meaning is to wrongly attribute meaning to something; the difference can be said to be more formalised in the case of misappropriation, such as when a government wrongly declares a meaning to be something (e.g. Pol Pot's). (Eiríksson, 2021).
