DRAMA103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Ecocriticism, Phonaesthetics, Guttural
Document Summary
Connotation: a whole layer of associations, ideas, or attitudes that are often attached to a word. The sound the word makes when you speak them. A word presents its self as signi er (the way the word looks and sounds), and signi ed (what the word means or represents) This refers to vowel sounds that are similar to each other but aren"t related in the sense that rhymes are. The opposite effect appears when the vowel sounds of words are different. A subtle sense of disharmony, tension, or imbalance is conveyed to the listener as dissonance. While words are related to each other through their vowels, they are also related through their consonants; the term used to describe the repetition of similar consonants is alliteration. Anthropocene - here and now, man as an in uencer of nature. Ecocriticism - relationship of mankind and the environment and non human .
