The word denotation, unlike common vocabulary, is a literary term. In this it is difficult to configure a sentence that expresses its meaning. To denote something is to indicate something. You can compare denotation to connotation to assist your understanding. Examples: Denotation... 1. Someone says "iPhone" the denotation (rational indication) is "type of phone" 2. Someone says "banana" the denotation (rational indication) is "type of fruit" Connotation... 1. Someone says "home" it shows the connotation (emotional response) "warmth, love, happiness" 2. Someone says "grey skies" it shows the connotation (emotional response) "sadness" :) Michelle
