Abstract

Connotations are important when you communicate with people. A language, in itself, is subjective in nature and it can evoke different psychological reactions from different people. That is why using the wrong words can totally ruin communication even if your intent and ideas were correct and trustworthy. Denotation simple refers to the meaning of a word. That is, denotation is the actual meaning of a word without any reference to any associations or emotions of the word.
