Connotative meaning of rain​

English
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
7 0
Rain: connotation is that of abundance, overabundance, or just sheer magnitude. ... The second connotation is sadness, melancholy, distress, or even foreboding. Use of rain or impending rain in movies to convey such these things is almost a trope.

Connotation will always mean figurative.

Denotative will always pertain to the dictionary meaning.

Your question asks for two words that have emotional meanings.

Here are a couple used in sentences so that you may understand more clearly:

"Don't be a chicken! Eat the tide pod! Come on!"

She looked at the man in joyful tears, "I finally have a home!"

While the detonative (dictionary; literal) meaning of chicken is “a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl,” that is not what was implied by the speaker in the sentence above. The connotative (figurative, implied) meaning of “chicken” fell more along the lines of “scaredy-cat” or “punk.”  

As for the second sentence, the woman could have used the word “house” but when you hear or think of the word “home” you think of warmth, family, and many sentimental memories – this is a classic example of connotation. The detonative meaning however of the word “home” is “a living space used as a permanent or semi-permanent residence for an individual, family, household or several families in a tribe.”
