Denotation, Conotation, and Implication

Denotation is a word's literal meaning.For example, were Juliet to look up the word 'rose' in the dictionary, she would find something like, 'a bush or shrub that produces flowers, usually red, pink, white or yellow in color.' Similarly, street names, like Sistrunk Boulevard or Northeast Sixth Street, tell people where they are and help them get to where they want to go.

Connotation is a word's underlying meanings; it is all the stuff we associate with a word. So, while a rose is indeed a type of flower, we also associate roses with romantic love, beauty and even special days, like Valentine's Day or anniversaries. Connotations go beyond the literal to what we think and feel when we hear or see a word.

Impliction: 

·    a possible future effect or result.

·    something that is suggested without being said directly : something that is      implied

·    the fact or state of being involved in or connected to something (such as a crime) : the fact or state of being implicated in something.
