positive or negative denotation question. Please help! [closed]

Denotation refers to a word's meaning. Does the word MOBILE have a positive or negative denotation?

Solution 1:

Denotations are neutral. They're simply the literal dictionary definition of a word, and mobile's definition is able to move or be moved freely or easily, or relating to portable technology.

The term you may be looking for is connotation, which is the positive or negative meaning associated with a phrase.

Consider this: If I invite you to my cottage in the forest, it's probably going to be a good time and we might see a fairy or some fawns, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, someone's getting murdered. They both mean the same thing (house in the middle of a large group of trees) but have different inferred meanings, or connotations.
