Abstract
By semiological analysis, Chinese compound words are complex symbols with alluding functions. The a-lignments of symbols have their own denotation forms and denotation meanings, the latter obviously alluding to connotation meanings of words. This paper focuses upon an analysis of the control of connotation over denotation, and of the way in which denotation meanings allude to connotation meanings, in order to facilitate our understanding of meanings of words.
