Conceptual and associative meaning
When we investigate the meaning of words in a language, we are normally
interested in characterizing the conceptual meaning and less concerned with
the associative meaning of the words. Conceptual meaning covers those basic,
essential components of meaning that are conveyed by the literal use of a word.
Some of the basic components of a word like needle in English might include
‘thin, sharp, steel instrument’<br>

These components would be part of the conceptual
meaning of needle. However, different people might have different associations
or connotations attached to a word like needle. They might associate it
with ‘pain’, or ‘illness’, or ‘blood’, or ‘drugs’, or ‘thread’, or ‘knitting’, or ‘hard
to find’, and these associations may differ from one person to the next.<br>
