(1) To my mind, denotation is what we observe, how we perceived from this object. Denotation represents the external concepts of our world, whereas, connotation is related to personal interpretation and experience, it has many different functions, and explores its internal thoughts. (2) In term of realizing the difference between denotation and connotation, for this week’s reading, I really like “Dude” written by Scott F.KIESLING. This article illustrates dude’s denotation and connotation in…

A) Place is a concept of two levels of meaning (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). First, it is an objective location that has both uniqueness and interdependence with other places (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). Second, it is a subjective social and cultural construct. In other words, somewhere that has personal meaning for individuals or groups (Imort, Knox, Marston, and Nash 41). York University is definitely a place, because one of York University‘s campuses is named “Keele campus”.…

There are different meanings for each word that is said in a language. Especially the English language. While Precession may have been looked at as angles of torque for physics or body mechanics; in astronomy precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational or orbital parameters. An example would be the steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today…

As a society we tend to see culture as a bland concept. A term that has a broad meaning and little significance to our daily thought process. Culture however, is impacted by each event that is put in our path. Culture is a person's way of life. You don't wake up every morning and do the exact same thing. Someone that was raised in one culture could grow up, find themselves new beliefs or values and consider themselves to have a different culture than when they were younger. How does one…

perspective, and many more individual points of view. Deconstruction completely relies upon the uncertainty of whether or not one perspective can be decided upon; in most works perspective cannot be decided upon because the specific functions of language leave too many open ends for a singular interpretation. In most instances, Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein does not leave much room for interpretation, but when…

Concept analysis means to define the condition of the science surrounding a concept of benefit. Concept analysis is interested in scientific literature.
