Answer:

okay so denotation is the textbook definition. like if u were to look in a dictionary, the definition of the word is the denotation. The conotation is the negative or positive 'vibe" you get when u hear the word. For example....smart has a positive connotation, but nerdy has a negative connotation, even though they have the same denotation (defintion)
