Denotation and Connotation 


Fiction and drama depend on language just as poetry does, but in a poem almost everything comes down to the particular meanings and implications, as well as sound and shape, of individual words.


Diction: the types of words, phrases, and sentence structures, and sometimes also of figurative language, that constitute any work of literature.

Denotationthe unambiguous or “dictionary” meaning of words.

Connotationa suggestion of emotional coloration that imply our attitude and invite a similar one from our hearers.
