Connotative meanings are identified through words that do not have real meanings, but subjective meanings and are different from those found in the dictionary.

We can come up with this answer because:

  • Connotative meaning refers to an adapted meaning that refers to figurative language.
  • This is because words with connotative meanings have a different meaning from the real meaning, which is shown in the dictionary.
  • The use of words with connotative meaning is made to deepen and highlight specific points in the text, being able to promote messages and highlight the theme, tone, among others.
