Connotation, Denotation and Semiology


  • Connotation is using a name/ a label which our audience has used before we evoke a meaning for it
  • Denotation is when you give a name to something with a particular meaning.
Some examples of Denotation and Connotation would be:

MICHAEL JACKSON - his name is a Denotation his name itself suggests who he is. 
Connotation: movie star, hollywood, death, fame, beauty, drugs... etc.

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
