I fail to see how we can't live by only definitions, that's kinda the POINT of language, isn't it? To give things definitions? |
Oh, no no no.
Connotation is the implied meaning, which is what you do everyday.
Definition is the prim and proper meaning.
For example, connotations give differing degrees to similar words.
With only definitions, tiny and small would be the same word.
However, the connotations of the words say that something tiny is smaller than something small.
Understand?
