I feel I must point out that ‘connotation’ and ‘denotation’ tend to be used differently by professional philosophers. ‘connotation’ refers to intension, while ‘denotation’ refers to ‘extension’. That is, ‘denotation’ refers to a word’s referent (the set of things in the world to which it can refer), while ‘connotation’ refers to its meaning.
