Denotation
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The logical, linguistic and semiotic term denotation is the common element in several significant pairings or distinctions, namely:
- connotation and denotation in basic semantics and literary theory;
- as synonymous with reference in sense and reference in philosophy;
- in denotational semantics and operational semantics in computer science.
- denotation in semiotics.
In logic and semantics, denotational always attracts the extension meaning in the pair, but the other element genuinely varies. See intension for some more discussion.
