👉 Evocation is a grammatical error or misinterpretation of another sentence that occurs when someone uses words in a way that does not accurately convey their intended meaning. This can be done intentionally, as in "I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you said," or unintentionally, as in "She looked at me with a look of confusion." Evocation is often considered an error by native speakers who expect the speaker to use correct grammar and word choice.
