Denotation 

The language consists of a large number of words and each word has a direct correlation with something outside language. And if we communicate with each other through language we all must be the same ' idea ' or ' concept ' associated with each word.

Ogden and Richard mentioned the bond between the object and the word meaning. When we hear or read the word, we often form a mental picture of what that word represents, and equate "concept" with a mental picture.

The reference is the relationship between the expression language like this door, both doors, the dog, another dog and anything else related to expression in certain situations when the use of language, including what the speaker might imagine. Denoted is the potential of words like door or dog to enter into the expression language like that. The reference was the way the speaker and the listener using the expression work.
 Denoted is the knowledge that they have that makes them use successfully.

The problem with the theory of mentalistik meaning, first, that not all words can be associated with a mental image. the example Sentence "The dog bit a man ' and ' The man bit a dog ', using ordinary instance, contain the same words but they do not express the same meaning.
