Reading Literary (RL) Vocabulary ELACC9-10RL4: Determine the meaning of words & phrases as they are used in text, including figurative & connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning & tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time & place: informal or formal tone).

Denotation - Dictionary meaning of a word independent of other associations the word may have.

Mood- Feeling created in the reader by a literary work or passage. It is often suggested by descriptive details. Mood can often be described in a single word, such as lighthearted, frightening or despairing.

Connotation - Set of ideas associated with a word in addition to its explicit meaning. It can be personal, based on individual experiences, but more often, cultural connotation (most people in a group recognize it) determine a writer’s word choices.

Hyperbole- A deliberate exaggeration or overstatement. “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.” “It’s raining cats and dogs.”

Tone- is the writer’s attitude toward his or her audience and subject. It is often described as a single adjective (playful, formal, etc.)

Metaphor-A figure of speech in which something is spoken of as though it were something else. It implies a comparison between two things. “You are the apple of my eye.”

Imagery- Picture-painting words which help you experience their ideas with all your senses— touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight.

Personification-Type of figurative language in which a nonhuman subject is given human characteristics.

Literal- Uses words in their ordinary senses. Opposite of figurative language. Tell someone standing on a diving board to jump in, you are speaking literally. If you tell someone on the street to jump in a lake, you are speaking figuratively.

Jump into work head first

Figurative- Language that means more than it says literally, is often used to create vivid impressions by introducing comparisons between dissimilar things. Vivid language that implies more than its literal meaning.

Alliteration-Repetition of initial consonant sounds.

Simile- A figure of speech in which like or as is used to make a comparison between two unlike ideas.
