Connotative
When you look up a word in the dictionary, you will find its literal (denotative) meaning. However, the emotions and associations connected to a word is known as its connotative meaning. Depending on our experiences, certain words have a positive, negative, or neutral connotation.

The Middle Take each day and make it last Cause you turn around and the future is the past Here and now is all we have The beginning and the end mean so little What matters most is what’s in the middle Spare some time to relax, listen to this song with a calm mind & heart. It might not be the most famous song but it is worth to listen.

YSK: There exists a "connotative" meaning to a word or phrase, which is separate from its dictionary definition.
YSK: There exists a “connotative” meaning to a word or phrase, which is separate from its dictionary definition.
Throughout Reddit, I've seen people complaining about usage of such phrases as "Same difference," "I could care less," among usage of words such as "literally" that are used "incorrectly." It's come to the point where I want to give this short rant about it.
A "Denotation" is the definition of a word or phrase. The denotation of "literally," for example, is "without exaggeration or inaccuracy." The denotation of "I could care less" is "There exists some level of caring below that which I currently care." Bit wordy, but that's what it means.
A "Connotation," meanwhile, is what a person understands the phrase as. Denotatively, one will never say "I could literally eat a horse right now," because it's physically impossible to do so. But, because language has evolved to this weird point, people use "literally" to express exaggeration. Yes, it's against the point of the word "literally," but that's just the weird evolution of the English language.
I have to admit that I had to post this as a kind of "counter" to the recent post about "I could care less," but I did want to get this out there–pointing out to people that they're using a word wrong (denotatively) is rude and pointless as long as it can be assumed that people know what they're talking about. No one actually thinks that I could literally eat that horse. They all know what I mean.
Also, I want to point out that words, not just phrases, can have connotative definitions different from the sum of their parts. For example, inflammable. "Flammable" means being able to be set on fire. The prefix "in" means not. But, for some reason, the combination still means flammable. That's just the nature of English.
Now, excuse me–I plan to sleep like a log tonight.

What is the difference between 'denotative' and 'connotative'?
Denotative and connotative are levels of meaning, similar to the meanings found it literature. The denotative aspects are those that are subjective. For example, a cat is a cat. One cannot interpret it as a dog. It is a fact that derives from that image. Connotative, however, is similar to the objective aspects of literature. Say that picture of the cat was in the bathroom. Some would say its owners are preparing it for a bath and others can say that it just happened to be there when the photograph was taken. It is what is interpreted by the image which can vary depending upon its viewer.
