    Denotation refers to the literal or dictionary definitions of a word, in contrast to its connotative meanings. For example, while "house" and "home" have the same denotation of a place of residence, they carry different connotations. The denotation of the word "rose" would be found in the dictionary as a flowering bush that produces flowers in colors like red, pink, white or yellow.
