    DENOTATIVE MEANING

     Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a


    word, the "dictionary definition.

     E.g: snake (in a dictionary)


     any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes
    venomous reptiles, cylindrical body and found in
    most tropical and temperate regions."
    CONNOTATIVE MEANING

     Connotation, on the other hand, refers to the


    associations that are connected to a certain word
    or the emotional suggestions related to that
    word.

     The connotative meanings of a word exist


    together with the denotative meanings.

     The connotations for the word snake could


    include evil or danger.
    The connotative component of
    meaning (connotation)
    • is what the word implies in addition to its
    denotative meaning. It is the set of
    associations that a word’s use can evoke.
    Types of connotation:
    • emotive
    • evaluative
    • expressive (intensifying)
    • pragmatic (i.e. connotation of duration,
    manner, cause, etc.)
    The connotative component
    • lonely: unhappy (emotive connotation)
    • notorious: about something bad (evaluative
    connotation, negative)
    • celebrated: about something good (evaluative
    connotation, positive)
    • to adore: deep feeling (expressive
    connotation)
    • to glare: steadily (connotation of duration) +
    in angry, fierce way (emotive connotation)
    • to glance: briefly (connotation of duration)
    Denotative and connotative
    components
    • Often a word’s connotation is fully explained
    in the dictionary.
    • Otherwise it can be realized through the
    context.
    E.g. Los Angeles is notorious for its smog.
    • Denotative and connotative components
    make up the semantic structure of a word.
