ENGL 11: English for Native Prof. Smith Question: Define the term "denotation" and provide an example in the context of English language usage. Response: Denotation refers to the literal or dictionary meaning of a word. For instance, in the sentence "The cat is on the table," the denotation of "cat" is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal. Question: Explain the concept of "irony" in literature. Offer an example from a text you have studied. Response: Irony involves a contradiction between expectation and reality. In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," dramatic irony is evident when the audience knows about Juliet's fake death, but Romeo, unaware, believes she is truly gone.
