Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries, beyond its literal meaning. For example, the word "home" has a positive connotation, often evoking feelings of comfort and safety. On the other hand, denotation refers to the literal, dictionary definition of a word. For instance, the denotation of the word "shack" is a small, rudimentary dwelling.
