How do we convey a denotative meaning?
Words in English (and in most languages) have a denotation and a connotation. The denotation is the dictionary meaning: it is generally neutral, just what the word literally means and how it is used. But the connotation is different-- it conveys the cultural meaning, such as whether the word is considered a compliment or an insult in normal conversation. For example, take the word "fat"-- in some cultures throughout history, to be fat meant to be prosperous, since if you had a lot of money, you could afford plenty of food. But today, our culture is obsessed with being thin. So, the dictionary (denotative) meaning of the word "fat" is overweight, obese. But the connotation is far stronger-- if I say someone looks fat in that shirt, they are probably going to be upset because the culture is so focused on looking thin.

Denotation is when you use the definitions found in the dictionary. These definitions are generally neutral, and don't tell you much more than that. Connotation involves carefully considering the use of the word in a sensitive manner so that others (cultures, people, etc.) are not harmed by your words; the connotation involves the emotions the word brings up in that culture. For example: take the word "fat." The dictionary meaning, the denotation, is "overweight." But in our culture, if I said someone was fat, that might hurt their feelings or get them upset, because our culture values being thin. All words have a denotation.

But the connotation reflects whether the word makes people think of something positive or whether it is associated with something negative.

But in the United States, it has a very negative connotation, and is associated with being opposed to capitalism or being an anti-American radical.
