	With ''denotation'' we mean what the words refer to literally. So, ''truck'' and ''lorry'' refer to the same objects, i.e., they have the same denotation, but there is a regional variation (''truck'' being rather American English, ''lorry'' being British English). There could be other differences at the level of connotations (''horse'' as the neutral term, ''nag'' as a pejorative term), or ~~of collocations~~ (''fast (asleep/*impressed)''-''deeply (asleep/impressed)''). In each of these cases, we consider the items synonyms, since their denotation is the same, even though they can clearly not be freely interchanged in every situation.
