The study employs a qualitative research method to analyze the data. It utilizes Leech's theory to explore the connotative meanings within the poem. Each phrase and couplet in “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” was categorized based on its connotative meaning, and the specific aspects of each connotative word were identified. Following the analysis, the researchers provided explanations for the data and drew conclusions based on their findings. As a result, 12 distinct connotative meanings were discovered in this poem. In conclusion, connotative meaning differs from literal meaning found in a dictionary, and it can sometimes be more challenging to decipher the hidden significance behind it.
