j. 1. designative - serving to designate
denotative, denotive - having the power of explicitly denoting or designating or naming
Peer comment(s):

disagree Muriel Vasconcellos : Terms in linguistics are highly specific. They are tricky. You can't use synonyms. To designate doesn't mean to denote. Each has its own meaning.
