observative

1. (language) An utterance that describes or calls attention to something that the speaker observes.Examples: "Now consider an observative that does not immediately raise the problem of ellipsis: "Willard is on the mat!" Unlike "Lo, a rabbit!," or even just "A rabbit!," this observative utterance takes the form of a proposition that can function as a purely declaratival expression."; "Yet, Kukla and Lance notice, the entitlement to an observative is essentially agent-relative and expresses an unsharable perceptual state, for of course no one else can be entitled to such an expression but the one who actually is in that state."
