Connotation. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regards to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headed connotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation).
Usage[edit] "Connotation" branches into a mixture of different meanings. These could include the contrast of a word or phrase with its primary, literal meaning (known as a denotation), with what that word or phrase specifically denotes. The connotation essentially relates to how anything may be associated with a word or phrase, for example, an implied value judgment or feelings.

Her husband had passed away about 5 years back and she was planning on moving soon. One day, while packing up some of her husbands things, she noticed that the temperature dropped really low. She walked down the hall to check the thermostat, but when she got there it showed no difference in temperature.
She thought about it but figured that it must be broken. She decided that she would call someone the next day to fix it. A couple of days later the temperature dropped again. A few weeks later a friend of the woman's stopped by to say Hi. For many years the house was empty, what with all of the stories going around about it. All was well until one day the temperature dropped in the house. A few weeks later the temperature dropped again.
When she came home she believed it was all a figment of her imagination. Page Top "Is Mrs. Myths and Legends from E2BN. KS3 Bitesize: English.
