Connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries beyond its literal definition (denotation). Two words can have the same denotation but quite different connotations, which can affect the reader's impression.
For example:
- **Word**: "Home"
- **Denotation**: A place where one lives.
- **Connotation**: Warmth, safety, comfort, family, belonging.
- **Similar Word**: "House"
- **Denotation**: A physical structure for living.
- **Connotation**: Neutral, functional, impersonal, merely a building.
- **Exact Synonym**: "Dwelling"
- **Denotation**: A place where someone lives.
- **Connotation**: Formal, perhaps clinical, less emotional than "home."
Each of these words—home, house, dwelling—has a different connotation despite their similarities in meaning.
