Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking about the emotional or feeling aspect that a word brings to a reader, beyond its literal meaning.
Recall that 'Syntax' refers to the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences, not emotions.
Recognize that 'Phoneme' is the smallest unit of sound in speech, unrelated to emotional meaning.
Know that 'Denotation' is the literal or dictionary definition of a word, which does not include emotional associations.
Identify that 'Connotation' is the term used to describe the emotions, feelings, or ideas that a word evokes in addition to its literal meaning.
