Connotation vs. Denotation • Connotation and denotation both refer to how people interpret word meanings. • Connotation derives from the verb connote, which means to suggest meaning. • Denotation derives from the verb denote, which means to designate meaning.

Connotation Connotation refers to a word’s secondary meaning as determinedby group or society. • This secondary meaning may not appear in a dictionary. • Connotative meanings usually result from emotional associations. Example: Home may connotatively refer to a place where a person feels most safe, rather than a structure where one lives. I feel most at home in Ireland, the land of my ancestors.

Denotation Denotation refers to a word’s meaning as defined in a dictionary. • A denotative meaning is the generally accepted academic meaning of a word. Example: Home denotatively means a place where a person resides. In recent months, home prices continued to increase.

Examples Word: Monkey– Connotative: Stop monkeying around! • Connotatively, monkey refers to messing around. Denotative: Monkeys are my favorite part of the zoo. • Denotatively, monkey refers to a primate. • Word: Blue– Connotative: I’m feeling very blue today. • Connotatively, blue refers to feeling sad. Denotative: I love the deep blues of the ocean. • Denotatively, blue refers to a primary color.

Remember • Here’s a trick to remember the difference between connotation and denotation: • Denotation is the Dictionary’s meaning.

SYNECDOCHE (n) sin NECK doe KEY SYNECDOCHE (n) sin NECK doe KEY. It means using a part of something to represent the whole thing. Examples: All hands on deck (of course we want the entire person, not just the hand) I own 50 head - or if you're from Texas, I own 3000 head. Once again, we are expecting whole animals, not just the heads...unless this is some kind of SCIFI or horror movie.

METONYMY (n) met TONN uh MEE METONYMY (n) met TONN uh MEE . This one means using one thing to represent another thing with which the first is closely associated. Examples: There's a hired gun in town (the gunman is represented by the gun). The gun is not part of the thing represented, just closely associated with it.

Metonymy Metonymy is a figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated.  For example, Hollywood is usually used to refer to the United States Cinematic Industry. However, Hollywood is actually a section of Los Angeles, California. Because many films are produced in Hollywood, we associate Hollywood with the Movie Industry.

Difference Between the Two? Metonymy refers to an idea closely associated with a word. “Hollywood” is used to describe the American movie industry because that's where most films are produced in the U.S. Synecdoche refers to a physical portion of a person or object or the material that the object is made out of. With “All hands on deck,” hands are physically part of the person. It's not an idea or abstract thought. They are physically connected. The same with the phrase “A head of cattle.” With “Wheels,” and “Plastic,” each of these phrases are materials that make up a larger object. Wheels are physically a part of automobiles. Credit cards are made out of plastic. Need Help? When trying to figure out if a phrase or word is a Metonymy or Synecdoche, ask yourself this: Is the word/object/phrase physically attached to a larger object/person? (or vice versa)   Is the word/object/phrase part of the make up of something larger? If you answer “no” to these two questions, it is probably not a synecdoche but most likely a metonymy.
