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.
