meaning : Every
word has a
negative, positive
or
neutral
connotation or
association. In this
case,
understanding

enhances
understanding of
the implied
meaning,
tone and purpose
beyond a word's
literal definition.

Examples:
• "Youth" = positive
connotation (or
association);
"Juvenile" =
negative
connotation;
"Adolescent" =
neutral
connotation.
• "Request" or
"Remind" =
positive
connotation;
"Whine" or "Nag" =
negative
connotation; "Ask"
= neutral
connotation.
• "Assertive" =
positive; "Bossy" =
negative;
"Dominant" =
neutral.
• "Senior" =
positive; "Old" =
negative; "Elderly"
= neutral.
b. Symbolic
meaning: Some
words have a
secondary,
figurative or
symbolic
association or
connotation. In this
case, the word
takes on a
completely new
meaning which is
unrelated
completely to the
literal meaning of
the word:
Words are powerful
tools, and a single word
can evoke different
emotions depending on
how and where it is
used.

Read the pairs of

sentences below.

a. Mother loves the

deep blues of the
ocean.

Mother feels very blue

today.

b. I love seeing
monkeys in the zoo.

Stop monkeying
around your sister!

What is the word

used in the first
pair?
How about in the
second pair?

Look at the first

pair. What blue
mean in the first
sentence?

How about in the

second sentence?
The word blue in
the first sentence
refers to a primary
color while in the
second sentence, it
refers to the feeling
of sadness or
loneliness.
Study the second
pair. What
monkeys mean in
the first sentence?
How about in the
second sentence?

Monkeys in the first

sentence refer to
animals
while in the second
sentence means
messing around.

Which sentences
used the literal
meaning of the
blue and monkeys?

If the first sentence

on both pairs used
the literal meaning,
how about the
second sentence?
These examples
show the
denotative and
connotative
meanings of words.
Now, let us read the
sentences on the
board.

A little girl holding her

money tightly entered
the store.
My mother hold my
hand so closed when
we crossed the street.

The big man lifted the

girl and set her feet into
the shoes.
The little girl raised up
her hand before she

the word tightly
in the first sentence?

How were you able to

get the correct
meaning?
Did/you study analyze
how the word was used
in the sentence or in
context?
Is there a word that
signals the correct
 meaning?
How do we get the
meaning of unfamiliar
words through context
clues?

an unfamiliar word
through context clues,

unfamiliar word will
help you get its
meaning.
