The logical and linguistic term denotation is the common element in several significant pairings or distinctions, namely (in chronological order)

connotation and denotation in basic semantics and literary theory;

as synonymous with reference in sense and reference in philosophy;

in denotational semantics and operational semantics in computer science.

Here denotational always attracts the extension meaning in the pair, but the other element genuinely varies. See intension for some more discussion.
