Explanation:

Language, which is the way we communicate, can be divided into the figurative and the literal language. Literal language refers to the use of words or phrases that follow the actual sense which means the meaning of the words used in the literal language is the meaning conventionally accepted. On the other hand, figurative language implies the words do not follow the conventionally accepted meaning but refer to a more complex meaning that is related to the associations of the words that can be only understood through interpretation, this is the case of simile, metaphor, hyperbole and other literary devices in which the reader or listener will need to understand the connotative meaning of the words that refer to the association and emotions that are linked to words and in which figurative language relies. Thus, the linked between connotative meaning and figurative language is that to understand figurative languages it is necessary to uncover its connotative meaning.
