What are the 7 types of meaning?
The result of this research confirmed that there are seven types of meaning based on Leech's theory, namely conceptual, connotative, collocative, reflective, affective, social, and thematic. A novelty that this present study found is that the seven types of meaning have variations in their descriptions.
What are the three types of meaning?
In our view, these meanings can be summarized as the following three types: grammatical meaning, referential meaning and connotative (i.e., emotive or associative) meaning.
What are the types of meaning relation?
There are two types of meaning: conceptual meaning and associative meaning.
Which are seven types of meaning semantics?
Geoffrey Leech (1981) studied the meaning in a very broad way and breaks it down into seven types [1] logical or conceptual meaning, [2] connotative meaning, [3] social meaning, [4] affective meaning, [5] reflected meaning, [6] collective meaning and [7] thematic meaning.
