Definition: To a literary critic, denotation is the dictionary meaning of a word or words, the literal meaning. To a philosopher the denotation is the thing(s) referred to. Compare this to connotation.
Examples: The denotations of \"necktie\" and \"cravat\" are the same, but their connotations are different.

Also consider \"red.\" It denotes a particular colour, but also has connotations of irritation or anger in certain contexts.
