a connotation is the implying or suggesting of an additional meaning for a word or phrase apart from the literal or main meaning


for exmaple: youthful and childlike are connotations because childlike is negative in a sort of way it is calling someone immature while youthful means someone who is energetic.

1. Definition/Explanation Clues. 
These are clues that are a word or phrase, and its meaning is explained right after its use. An example would be "Buckle, which is a store for male and females that sells jeans, shirts, and boots, is becoming more popular today."

2. Restatement/Synonym Clues.
This is a hard word or phrase said in a sympial way. An example of this is, "Dale was sent to the haberdashery to find a new suit. He needed one to wear to his Uncle's Wedding." Because the sentence say Dale would find a suit at the Haberdashery, we can conclude that a haberdashery is a place where clothes for men are sold. 

3. Contrast/Antonym Clues
Sometimes a word or phrase is clarified by the presentation of the opposite meaning somewhere close to its use. Look for signal words when applying context clues. An example of this would be, "Dale wanted to go to the haberdashery, but Ann wanted to shop at the boutique.” The signal word but tells the reader that an opposite thought is going to be stated.

4. Interference/General Context Clues
This is when a word or phrase is not immediately explained. The reader must look for clues within, before, and after the word or phrase is used. An example of this is, "The haberdashery was Dale's favorite place. He liked shopping for nice suites. The people who worked there were so kind and helpful." From this, we can tell that the haberdashery has to be a place that you can shop, and that is sells nice suites. 

5. Punctuation
We can also use clues of punctuation to infer meanings. Like quotation marks, dashes, parathe these, italics, and brackets. Examples of this are, "Tom's father was a haberdasher, or men's shop keeper, in the story." "Tom's father was a haberdasher (men's shop keeper) in the story." "In the story, Tom's father was a haberdasher- or men's shop keeper." "Tom's father was a "haberdasher". He had a clothing store for men." 

Hope this helps!! :)

<span>Read the excerpt. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. Which rhetorical device in this excerpt from John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address is being used? I would say antithesis is being used by JFK ie by turning the question around of what your country can do for you to what you can do for your country he grabs the interest of the audience by coming up with the opposite meaning.</span>
