【正确答案】G. Leech (1981) categorizes seven kinds of meaning, five of which are brought under the "associative meaning".
1)Conceptual meaning: logical, cognitive or denotative content.
2)Connotative meaning: what is communicated by virtue of what language refers to.
3)Social meaning: what is communicated of the social circumstances of language use.
4)Affective meaning: what is communicated of the feelings and attitudes of the speaker/writer.
5)Reflected meaning: what is communicated through association with another sense of the same expression.
6)Collocative meaning: what is communicated through association with words which tend to occur in the environment of another word.
7)Thematic meaning: what is communicated by the way in which the message is organized in terms of order and emphasis.
For example, the conceptual meaning of "woman" is "a female human". The connotative meaning of "woman" is "gentle, nice, etc." in some cultures. The affective meaning of "woman" is "a person regarded as attractive and friendly but a humiliated person in some cultures". The word "woman" can be in collocation with "beautiful, pretty, nice, friendly, etc./
