What does "override" below mean?
BUNCH, for example, can only apply to a set of things fastened or closely grouped together or simply to a group of people; the unitary conceptualisation is strongly favoured in the former sense while override is likely in the second: A bunch of flowers was presented to the teacher vs A bunch of hooligans were seen leaving the premises.

Hello hiromichi -
"override" in the sense of dominate or prevail over...
when we see a "bunch" of flowers...we see the bunch
when we see a bunch of "hooligans"...we see the hooligans |
