TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the denotative and connotative meanings in Korean drama titles. But the authors focus on finding the real meanings behind the titles, not only in the real sense but also in the sense that there were other references or implied meanings behind all of the titles.
Abstract: The research aimed to analyze the denotative and connotative meanings in Korean drama titles. The titles were chosen from the popular dramas of 2019-2020 based on Netflix and Forbes Magazine. This study was focused on finding the real meanings behind the titles. The study was done qualitatively by randomly selecting 20 Korean drama titles of 2019-2020. Connotation and denotation are parts of describing the meanings of words. Connotation refers to the implied meaning of a certain word, while denotation refers to the real meaning of a word or, simply said, is the dictionary meaning. The titles of the Korean dramas were not presented in the real sense, but there were other references or implied meanings behind all of the titles. This was so because a title is designed to be eye-catching, a term that is usually used in marketing. Furthermore, those implied meanings in the titles of the dramas were presented in such a way as to arouse emotion.

Abstract: A certain group of cultural-loaded words in the same language can form a vocabulary category. In order to facilitate systematic and refined research work, language researchers tend to classify the vocabulary which belongs to the same category systematically that provides possibility for cross-cultural research of language. Regardless of different points of view, it has been widely recognized that culture has taken an important place in foreign language teaching and learning studies. As an important category of the vocabulary of a language, animal expression is not only an indispensable part of human language, but also conveys cultural messages to people from different cultures. Words evolve over time, semantic shifting, generalizing, progressing, drifting. Although snake falls in the commendatory, neutral and derogatory category in English as well as in Chinese, its derogatory connotation has been highly stressed both in English and Chinese with the rapid process of globalization and human cognitive development. In an attempt to enhance cross-cultural awareness of L2/FL instructors and learners and improve their foreign language proficiency, this paper presents an exclusive study of different cultural connotations between “Snake” and “蛇” by virtue of contrastive analysis, corpora collecting and Associative Group Analysis.
