What is the term for the tendency to apply a word to objects that are inappropriate for the word meaning?

overextension

Explanation:

Overextension is an error in early stages of language development, in which a child usually applies the same word to label different things, usually as a result of lack of vocabulary. For example, a child may use the word daddy to refer to all men, or dog to name all kinds of animals. Overextension diminishes with time as children receive corrective feedback and increase their lexicon.

sensory details?

so i`m assuming you are writing something from a bats (the animal) point of view. if this is the case, you can use sights, sounds, feelings, and tastes.

and idk what you mean by domain, but all of the sensory details will depend on where the bat is.

a bat doesn't see color very well, so its surroundings will be dulled.

it can hear super well. so maybe it can hear the insects on the ground

feelings. you can imagine how a bat would feel from its perspective. it all depends on where it lives.

maybe it can taste the salt in the air, or smell water, or something. all of these details are completely dependent on where it is located.

hope this .
