1. DENOTATIVE VS. CONNOTATIVE Ignacio, Cristina T. LEXICAL VS. STYLISTICS

2. At the end of this lesson, we will be able to: differentiate between denotative and connotative meanings of words; distinguish between lexical and stylistic meaning; and apply their understanding of denotation, connotation, lexical meaning, and stylistic meaning to analyze texts.

3. What's in a Word? Direction/s: Words aren't just definitions! They carry feelings and associations too. Each student will draw a strip provided by the presenter. Then, share what comes to mind when you hear/read the word – what emotions or images do they conjure up?

4. DENOTATIVE VS. CONNOTATIVE

5. Denotative Refers to the literal meaning of a word. Represents the explicit or direct meaning of a word.

6. Denotative Examples: "Jacob ate pancakes with some apples and different toppings". “Monica was a green dress for the summer ball. She looked beautiful”. “A snake entered the villa while I was eating with my family”.

7. Connotative Refers to the emotional and cultural associations of a word. A non-literal framing of a term that intends to add an association beyond its literal meaning.

8. Connotative Examples: "Mike is the apple of my eye". “I'm green with envy because Ella met my favorite singer”. "She told me not to trust Tom because he is a snake".

9. Similarities Both relate to the meaning of terms and objects. They coexist in language and communication. They influence our understanding of words.

10. Differences Nature Denotative Conotative Subjective, adds layers of meaning. Objective, provides textbook definitions.

11. Differences Implications Denotative Conotative Can be negative, neutral, or positive. Accurate and literal.

12. Differences Usage Denotative Conotative Used creatively in writing, poetry, and rhetoric. Used for clarity and precision.

13. LEXICAL VS. STYLISTIC

14. Lexical Defined as the meaning of a base or root word without considering any prefix or suffix which may be attached. Expressed at the word level and pertain to individual words and their meanings.

15. Lexical Examples: Walk Eat Stop

16. Stylistic Describes the formal features of texts for their own sake and in order to show their functional significance for the interpretation of a text. As distinguished from lexical one, which is representing primary information, is based on the secondary (additional) information. Refer to variations in language that arise due to word choice, sentence structure, and other expressive features.

17. Stylistic Examples: "He is a lion in battle." "The old house creaked and groaned in the wind."

18. Similarities Both relate to language expression. Both contribute to the overall style of communication. Both influence how a message is perceived by the reader or listener.

19. Differences Nature Lexical Stylistic Encompasses word choice, sentence structure, and expressive features. Deals with individual word meanings.

20. Differences Explicit vs. Implied Lexical Stylistic Implicit and context-dependent. Explicitly defined.

21. Differences Stability vs. Dynamism Lexical Stylistic Subject to change based on context and purpose. Relatively stable over time.

22. LEXICAL VS. DENOTATIVE

23. Lexical meaning is the broad term referring to the meaning of a word as it exists in the lexicon (our mental dictionary). It's the core, dictionary definition of a word. Denotative meaning is a specific type of lexical meaning. It's the most direct and literal meaning of a word, the one that refers to something concrete or objective.

24. STYLISTIC VS. CONOTATIVE

25. Connotative meaning refers to the emotional, cultural, or social associations connected to a word. It's the feeling or attitude that goes beyond the literal dictionary definition. Stylistic meaning refers to how language is used to create a particular effect, mood, or tone. It's about the way words are combined and used to express something, not just the what.

26. Activity Directions: Group yourselves into two (2). Read the excerpt flash on your screen and analyze the text by considering the four levels of meaning (connotative, denotative, lexical, stylistic).
