    Here for Philosophy class inwhich we are discussing communication and verbal thinking/processing and critical thinking. I find that connotative meanings bridge the realities of people because of our understanding of our own experience from which empathy comes from, which helps to connect better than denotative meanings, which don't express the vastness of the language we speak in, thus really not creating that connection we seek when we seek to communicate.

    Denotation--- Literal meaning of a word
    Connotation--- additional associated sense or implication of a word

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  4 роки тому +1

      Good summary. I'd just add the element of an *_emotional_* implication to the connotative side of the definition. We tend to have implied shades of meaning that lean positive or negative for many important words.

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  5 років тому +3

      Close but not exactly. Some words have negative literal, denotative meanings. Denotative does not mean positive. And, connotative meanings can be both positive, negative, or they can evoke another emotion or shade of meaning. Sometimes, those meanings are tied to culture but not strictly speaking.

      Grade level? Well, I heard these words first in high school but it also depends on what classes people take. Certainly I heard it again in college. I'll say most important words have both connotative and denotative means but so many words are just ordinary that it make little practical difference to try to decode the different meanings.

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  4 роки тому +1

      That's pretty close. Positive and negative are simplifications of the emotional charge words have. The point is that connotative meanings are more subjective and there are shades of meaning we experience when we hear words that don't show up in the dictionary definition.

      @alexanderlyon  4 роки тому

      Hm. Not sure what you mean. Connotative means are not universal. So, the way I feel about a word and what it communicates on an emotional level may not be the same as the others understand the word. But, to answer your question, no I don't personally have a describable connotative meaning for the word score other than it leans toward a positive emotion because "scoring" in a sports game is a positive experience.

      I would agree that up until about 25 years old, I found the word simply boring, not a strong emotion. Now that I pay LOTS of taxes, it has stronger emotions attached to if for me. You are correct, nonetheless, that words may have a strong emotional charge for some people and not others depending upon their experiences.
