22. DENOTATION AND CONNOTATION
Words and images in media texts can work on more than one level.
You will come across the terms denotation and connotation throughout your course. They are important terms for you to understand.

23. DENOTATION is the literal, dictionary meaning of a word.
A red rose is a flower – that is its straight forward meaning or denotation
An apple is a fruit we eat
A lamb is a young sheep

24. CONNOTATION is the extra meanings or feelings we attach to words because of the way they are used in our culture
Because we all have different backgrounds, connotations are not always the same for everybody.

25. Did you know that different colors CONNOTE different things?
Think about the rose…
No flower is associated so much with LOVE as the rose.
These are all connotations or extra layers of meaning that the word carries with it.

friendship
purity

26. Think about the apple… It can be a symbol of health.
It often is associated with teachers.
It’s also the nickname of a city: “The Big Apple.”
It can even have stand for sin because of Adam and Eve.
These are all connotations or extra layers of meaning that the image carries with it.

27. And the lamb… For many it has religious meaning: “The Lamb of God”
It can even stand for a season: spring .
It also symbolizes innocence: “like a lamb to the slaughter.”

28. Not what you expected? That’s because of CONNOTATION!
