Connotation in Drug Policy Discourse
Connotation in Drug Policy Discourse is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Journal of drug abuse''. The main subjects of the publication include drug, moral panic, political science, linguistics, discourse analysis, sociology, and connotation. The main point of the article is that signs, symbols, ideographs 1 and narratives are inherently connotative and suggestive rather than denotative and fixed.For example, terms such as drug abuse do not always point to an objective fact or to reality itself.The term carries with it symbolic imagery, value judgements, and affective tenor.
