Denotation in English language refers to the literal meaning of a word, or the dictionary definition of the word.

For instance, the denotative meaning of snake, or the meaning of snake as found in the dictionary is - any of numerous scaly, legless, sometimes venomous reptiles, having a long, tapering, cylindrical body.

Denotation of lighting - a flash of light in the sky caused by an electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the Earth's surface. The flash heats the air and usually causes thunder.
