Literal Language According to Leech as cited by Love (1983) there are seven types of meaning in semantics, namely conceptual or denotative meaning, connotative meaning, social meaning, affective meaning, reflected meaning, collocative meaning, and thematic meaning. Here, the researcher analyses two kinds of meaning which are denotative meaning and connotative meaning.

quoting Faulkner’s words, “even coating of the patient and biding dust”. Binder shouldn’t assume that Faulkner was being completely literal. Faulkner uses the literary device of a loosely structured form of verbal irony because Faulkner believes his audience will understand that he is contrasting the literal meaning of words like patient with the understood meaning of smothering.

Woman: God’s second mistake? Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher, who regarded ‘thirst for power’ as the sole driving force of all human actions, has many a one-liners to his credit. ‘Woman was God’s second mistake’, he declared.
