Warm Up Look at the word on the piece of paper that you selected. Imagine someone has just used that word to refer to you: “They just called me what?!” Write one paragraph that describes how you would react to that? How would it make you feel?

Denotation and Connotation The dictionary definition. The additional meaning a word may carry.

Is there more to a word than how it is defined in the dictionary?

Yes, there is more. In fact, every word has at least two definitions: connotative and denotative So, what’s the difference?

The denotative definition is based on the________definition of a word. The connotative definition is the________________________ meaning of a word. literal figurative or emotional

Connotation The emotional associations of a word or phrase, as opposed to its exact meaning. “Greasy” has a denotation meaning slippery but also has a connotation when referring to a “greasy” person.

The connotative meanings of a word exist together with the denotative meanings. The denotation of the word snake is “any of numerous scaly, legless, and sometimes venomous reptiles” The connotations for the word snake could include evil or danger.

Let’s use the word HOT The denotation (or dictionary definition – remember d in denotation = dictionary) of HOT is: having a temperature higher than that of a human body. However, when you say “Man! He/She is hot!”, are you saying “Man! He is having a temperature higher than that of a human body!”? No!! You are saying the CONNOTATION of HOT – which could mean a variety of things – man he/she is cute, attractive, beautiful, and many other meanings – those come from personal experiences and cultural meanings, etc.

In Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall,” two neighbors walk along a wall of loose stones that separates their properties. As they walk they pick up and replace stones that have fallen out of the wall but Frost thinks it’s unnecessary to repair the wall since they have no animals that could harm one another's properties. His neighbors responds in the last line of the poem saying “Good fences make good neighbors.”

The wall in this poem has both a denotative meaning and a connotative meaning. The wall is both a boundary (denotation) as well as a barrier that prevents Frost from getting to know his neighbor and prevents any communication or involvement with one another (connotation).

In the poem, “Autumn,” by Christopher Brennan, the poet describes many aspects of the autumn season using denotation and connotation. One line in the poem, “the silent woods brood over an anxious deep, and in the faded sorrow of the sun.”

The word silent is used here to describe the woods both literally as “making no sound or noise” as well as emotionally since the word silent helps us visualize the woods as “dull, peaceful, and tranquil.”
