Now briefly EXPLAIN the following terms (in your own words) with appropriate examples: </b></i></span><br /> a. Connotative meaning <br /> b. Denotative meaning <br /> Answrer: a. Connotative meaning means, the meaning of a word which is hidden or assumed <br /> form a word. It is not exact meaning but the meaning which is understood from word. <br /> A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection.  For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headed connotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation). <br /> Examples: <br /> Stench, smell, aroma, scent, odor<br /> Strong, tough, sturdy, hard<br /> Proud, confident, arrogant, egotistical <br /> Childish, childlike, young, youthful<br />  Rich, loaded, privileged, wealthy, affluent<br />  Broke, poor, impoverished<br /> Frugal, economical, stingy, cheap <br /> Tempting, attractive, interesting<br /> Liar, storyteller, fibber <br /> Independent ,fnendly, private,Standoffish <br /> b.

Tn contrast, read the next sentence: <br />                                                            <b><span style="color: blue;">   Susie is very blue. </span></b><br /> If we understand this second sentence by its denotative meaning, it would mean that Susie is literally the color blue.However, we understand this sentence by its connotative meaning, which is that Susie is sad. <br /> <span style="color: red;"><i><b>Q.5 Go to Exercise 7 a “Merchant and his Servant” on Page 235 and carefully READ the situation given in the story.

Now carefully READ the following terms and distinguish between the two given in each pair: </b></i><br /> a. Negative vs. positive meaning <br /> b. Literal vs. associative meaning <br /> c. Dictionary vs. thesaurus <br /> Answer: a. Connotation is an idea or felling that a word evokes. If something has a <br /> positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. <br /> Examples: <br /> Positive: My new neighbor is mature woman. <br /> Negative: My new neighbor is an elderly woman. <br /> Positive: Yesterday’s workout was challenge. <br /> Negative: Yesterday’s workout was very difficult. <br /> Positive: That child is more thai <br /> Negative: That child is more than a little hyperactn <br /> b. Literal or conceptual meaning covers these basic, essential component ot meanmg which conveyed by literal use of word for example needle, thin, sharp, steel, instrument when “Associative Meaning” is an idea, Connection what specific word brings to you for example needle pain, doctor, illness etc. <br /> c.
