Lecture semantic classification of words

The connotational meaning reflects the stylistic reference and the emotive and/or evaluative charge proper to the word.
Emotive charge is one of the objective semantic features proper to words as linguistic units and forms part of the connotational component of lexical meaning, e.g., large, big, tremendous, huge, abnormal, gigantic, colossal , Herculean , prodigious , stupendous , thumping , titanic, etc.
Stylistic reference is the belonging of any word to a particular functional style. Stylistically words can be roughly subdivided into literary, neutral and colloquial layers, but not only.
