Connotation and Denotation in Literature

As long as literary usage is concerned, the term "denotation" means primary significance or reference of a word; whereas "connotation" of a word means a range of secondary or associated significations that the word implies. For instance; "home" denotes the house in which one lives whereas it connotes intimacy and privacy.

In broader sense, the connotation of a word consists of a range of meanings or significations and which one the word really connotes that depends on the context in which the word is used. As far as poetry is concerned, the words share contexts with both denotative as well as connotative meanings. And it's up to the reader how to evaluate the words. In this respect, George Herbert's poem "Virtue" needs to be taken into consideration:

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and the sky...

The word "bridal" has both connotative as well as denotative meanings. The denotation of the word means that a union between human beings. The word stands for "ground" and functions as a metaphor to facilitate union of the earth and the sky. On the other hand, the connotation of the word "bridal" is sacred or ceremonial. Moreover, the meaning of the word is similar to "marriage".

The second example I wish to offer is a portion from John Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale" where the connotative meaning of the word gets changes according to the way it is spelled:

Charmed magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn,

You will notice that the use of "faery" instead of "fairy" evokes the connotation of antiquity and wonderful world of Spenser's "The Faerie Queene".

These are some of the examples to see how connotation and denotation overlaps! You can only distinguish the meanings according to the content in which words are used. As far as the language of literature is concerned, you'll see the presence of both and it is up to the reader to appreciate the work of art considering the proper connotative or denotative meanings.

In short, denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word, or the dictionary definition. Connotation, on the other hand, refers to the associations that are attached to a particular word or the emotional suggestions associated with that word. The connotative meanings of a particular word exist in conjunction with the denotative meanings. So, both share distinct features as long as meanings of a word is concerned.

Best school for Hot and Dry - Pomona College, Claremont, Calif.

Best school for city haters - Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.

One of the top attractions is the Tisch School of the Arts, which nurtures future actors, dancers and screenwriters. The business school is also highly rated, and students can take advantage of internships on Wall Street. The campus of NYU is not structured in the strictest sense; in fact buildings scattered throughout the Greenwich Village, most students like to believe that they have the whole city as the campus to explore.

Best Military School - U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.

The four-year undergraduate curriculum at Annapolis is tough and technically oriented, with core requirements in engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Traditions play a huge part in campus life. "When you first show up for classes in the fall, students begin counting down the number of days until the Army-Navy game," says Cmdr. Tim Disher, admissions officer. Graduates become commissioned officers in the Navy or the Marine Corps.

Best undergraduate school for scholarships - Berea College, Berea, Ky.
The 1,500 students at Berea come from families with average household incomes of only $30,000, and 80% have grown up in southern Appalachia, a region that spans nine states with some of the most remote and poor rural communities in the country. Berea's mission is unique in that it believes in promoting education by giving scholarships to the poor but deserving. All students get full-tuition scholarships, although they do have to pay for their room, board and books. However, scholarships are available for those as well. Students are required to work--many of them at jobs on campus that help to keep Berea's costs down.

Best Surf and Ski School - University of California, Santa Barbara

It is known to be the most beautiful campus located at the edge of the Pacific. UCSB also boasts Nobel Prize winners on its faculty, top research centres in science and technology and an extensive study-abroad program.

Bachelor Degree - What Is The Best One?

There's no question that the best bachelor degree to get in college is one that prepares you for an actual career. This way, when you get out of college you have a definite path to follow and a more likely chance to land a job. So just what is the best bachelor degree to get? Is there a best degree? Answering this question is nowhere near as easy as asking it.

Before we do, let's start by saying that there are some degrees that you can get that literally prepare you for almost nothing. It makes you wonder why they even offer them at all. Some people say it's for those who just don't know what they want to do. Others think it's because some people can't handle the more difficult curriculums of the degrees that are more precisely targeted to a specific field.

So what are these degrees that prepare you for just about nothing? The list is actually as long as your right arm but we'll mention just a few of the more popular ones.

Psychology is a real favorite for many students. There's kind of a cool thing to tell people that you're a psych major. Unless you're going to become a psychologist, which is really going to take more than just a degree in psychology, there's really not much you can do with a bachelor degree in psychology. Sociology is another one that's pretty high on the useless meter, unless of course you're going to be a sociologist? Ever wonder what a sociologist does?

Then there are those who major in things like English Literature. You really have to wonder what somebody with a bachelor degree in English Literature is going to do aside from trying to maybe get a job in the theater or go into teaching.

That is what a lot of these kids do who take these courses that really don't have a definitive path. They end up going back to school to get a masters in their chosen discipline or maybe even something else and then with a masters they can get a job teaching at a university. It was probably the last thing they wanted to do, but it's a job.

The sad truth is, a lot of kids who get a bachelor degree in some obscure discipline, end up going to work at a Burger King. Maybe if they're lucky, with their education, they do get a management position.

The truth is, the best degrees to get are the ones that prepare you for a definite field such as accounting. A degree in accounting prepares you to be an accountant, period. And with all the crazy tax laws changing all the time, we're always going to need a good accountant. A bachelor degree in engineering is another good one. Pretty much the only thing you're going to be when you're done is some kind of engineer.

So while there may not be one best bachelor degree, practically speaking anyway, some are definitely better than others.
