👉 The term "provocant" is used in linguistics and philosophy to describe an object or action that can cause a reaction or change in another person's behavior. It refers to something that can influence someone's actions, thoughts, or emotions. For example, if you were to ask someone what they would do if you told them that their dog was barking all the time, they might respond by becoming more affectionate towards their pet or even stop barking altogether. This is provocant
