My intro philosophy book by John Hospers says that "connotation" is not limited to emotional responses, but includes any associations that come to mind for most people when hearing the word. I'm curious how widespread this idea is. If it's everywhere, then I guess the article is currently too narrow. -- Ryguasu 01:45, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I too wonder if the article is too narrow, particularly in that it limits the definition of the word to be an affect of diction or vocabulary...whereas I am thinking that the word can also refer to symbolism, art, and other forms of expression...in fact the examples for the denotations used in the article are exactly those forms of expression and not literary connotations at all. What do the experts here have to say about that suggestion? We generally use the word interpretation for art, however connotations and contexts can be drawn from artistic interpretations just as easily as from words, am I wrong? 73.176.113.121 ( talk) 13:28, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I think I'm reasonably smart and well read. I think I know what the word "connotation" means but I don't understand what this article is saying. Can someone who understands this well please take a crack at lowering the reading level a notch so the rest of us can follow? (see m:Reading level) Rossami 23:18, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
Added references to wiktionary, is that correct? -- AzaToth talk 19:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure what to do about this, but there seems to be some unusual overlap between connotation, denotation, and connotation and denotation as well the other articles. Perhaps we need a connotation (linguistics) and a denotation (liquistics) and a disambig. Peyna 02:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I came here looking for a word that I cannot think of or find anywhere else, so I'm not sure it even exists, but I am almost positive I knew it at one time. It means the same thing as connotation, but disregards denoted meaning. That is, merely how the word makes you feel when you don't know the meaning. The example in the book I read used the old snarks and boojums. Lullabud 02:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't like the example: 'strong willed' and 'pig headed' have totally different meanings, whereas 'used car' and 'previously owned car' have the same meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.38.218 ( talk • contribs) 19:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
