22. Connotations can be either positive, negative, or neutral. Writers often use different connotations to inject multiple layers of meaning into a word, phrase, or passage.

However, the same sentence rewritten as “The dog is emaciated” has negative connotations: the word “emaciated” implies the dog has a neglectful owner.

24. 1. Positive connotation Words that conjure a favorable emotional response. For example, describing someone ambitious as a “go-getter” or someone who is lively and curious as “youthful.”

25. 2. Negative connotation When a negative connotation is made, it presents the person or thing in an unfavorable light. Using the examples above, the same ambitious person might be described as an “overachiever,” while the curious person might be referred to as “childish.”

26. 3. Neutral connotation This is when a word says what it means with a neutral point of view, and no attached positive or negative connotation. The statement, “HE IS AMBITIOUS” suggests a person works hard and strives to achieve, without judgment on whether the ambition is a good or a bad thing.
