Denotation is the exact definition of the word. Denotations are strict definitions and have no emotions attached to them either good or bad.
Please give me examples in the sentence where the denotation is used!
"The house looks cozy and warm." (Denotation: The house appears comfortable and inviting. Connotation: The house evokes feelings of hominess and comfort.) "She's quite thrifty with her money." (Denotation: She is careful with how she spends her money. Connotation: She is seen as resourceful and wise in managing her finances.) "His remarks were sharp and cutting." (Denotation: His comments were critical and direct. Connotation: His words were harsh and hurtful.)
No. They usually have even more connotations than denotations, and words can have many denotations. Think about the word "rainbow". Denotations: the spectrum of light, a semi-circular pattern in spectrum colours appearing after a rainstorm, anything coloured with the colours of the spectrum. Now think of the connotations: Noah, the story of the flood, God's forgiveness, Sir Isaac Newton, prisms, leprechauns, pots of gold, gay pride rallies, little girls' toys, etc. etc. etc.
Sense and to solve human problems.
Denotation is when they actually define something in the narrative.

Connotations are implied or suggested meanings or shades of meaning, as opposed to denotations which are the explicit meanings of words. A word denotes its denotation, and connotes its connotations. "The word 'lurk' connotes a nefarious intent."
use connotations instead of denotations
