OpenStudy (anonymous):

they could be synonyms but when you are being denotative you are telling its definition professionaly but when you are connoting something you are telling by what you had seen personaly if you are studying in school then go for A but then i would go for C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol read whats given in ur link again just read it and tell me what makes denotative opposite of connotative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is from your link Connotation, on the other hand, refers to the associations that are connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word. The connotative meanings of a word exist together with the denotative meanings.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The connotative meanings of a word exist together with the denotative meanings."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
