Question

How would you Compare and contrast connotative and denotative in more than 10 valid points?

Answer 1

Connotation and Denotation are two principal methods of describing the meanings of words. Connotation refers to the wide array of positive and negative associations that most words naturally carry with them, whereas denotation is the precise, literal definition of a word that might be found in a dictionary. 

Connotation can be classified as positive connotation and negative connotation while Denotation is not thus classified.

Connotation can change according to culture and personal experiences while Denotation remains the same regardless of culture and personal experiences.

Connotation is often described as being positive and negative while the function of denotation becomes significant in literature when it is contrasted with the connotation of that word.

Denotation is the direct definition of the word that you find in the dictionary while connotation is the emotional suggestions of a word, that is not literal.
