affect (n.)

A term sometimes used in SEMANTICS as part of a classification of types of MEANING: it refers to the attitudinal element in meaning, as in the differing emotional associations (or CONNOTATIONS) of LEXICAL items (e.g. a youth/youngster stood on the corner) or the expression of attitude (or affect) in INTONATION. Affective meaning is usually opposed to COGNITIVE meaning. Alternative terms include EMOTIVE and ATTITUDINAL.
