Yes, the answers I provided are correct in the context of language and meaning. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Figurative language refers to expressions that convey meanings that are not literal, often requiring an understanding of metaphor, simile, or other forms of comparison to interpret the meaning.
-
Literal meaning indeed refers to the basic, straightforward meaning of words without any embellishment or interpretation beyond their dictionary definitions.
-
Connotation refers to the emotional or associative meaning that a word carries beyond its literal definition. For instance, "home" may connote feelings of warmth and security, in addition to its straightforward definition as a place where someone lives.
