UNDERSTANDING THE CONNOTATION OF VERBS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
This article explores the connotation of verbs in the English language, emphasizing their significance beyond mere denotation. While denotation refers to the literal meaning of a verb as found in dictionaries, connotation encompasses the emotional, cultural, and contextual implications that shape our understanding of language. The connotative meaning of verbs varies according to individual perceptions, cultural backgrounds, and situational contexts, leading to diverse interpretations. Through illustrative examples, this study highlights how verbs can evoke different responses depending on their usage.
