Editing Connotation (section)

===Logic===
In [[logic]] and [[semantics]], ''connotation'' is roughly synonymous with ''[[intension]]''. Connotation is often contrasted with ''[[denotation]]'', which is more or less synonymous with ''[[extension (semantics)|extension]]''. Alternatively, the connotation of the word may be thought of as the set of all its possible referents (as opposed to merely the actual ones). A word's ''denotation'' is the collection of things it refers to; its connotation is what it implies about the things it is used to refer to (a second level of meanings is termed connotative). The connotation of dog is (something like) four-legged canine carnivore. So, saying, "You are a dog" would ''connote'' that you were ugly or aggressive rather than literally ''denoting'' you as a canine.<ref>{{cite book|author=BK Sahni|title=BPY-002: Logic: Classical and Symbolic Logic|year=2017}}</ref>
