meanings, and this makes it a topic worth knowing about.

Denotation is the strict dictionary meaning of a word. It refers to the literal meaning of a word, the "dictionary 
definition."¨ For example, if you look up the word snake in a dictionary, you will discover that one of 
its denotative meanings is "any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes venomous reptiles having a long, 
tapering, cylindrical body and found in most tropical and temperate regions." 
Connotation is the emotional and imaginative association surrounding a word. It refers to the associations that 
are connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word. The connotations for the 
word snake could include evil or danger.
