Grammatical meaning refers to that part of the meaning of the word which indicates grammatical concept or relationships. Conceptual meaning also known as denotative meaning(外延意义), is the meaning given in the dictionary and forms the core of word-meaning. Associative meaning is the secondary meaning supplemented to the conceptual meaning. Connotative meaning refers to the overtones or associations suggested by the conceptual meaning, traditionally know as connotations.
Stylistic meaning refers to stylistic features, which make them appropriate for different contexts. Affective meaning indicates the speaker’s attitude towards the person or thing in question.(appreciative or pejorative).
Collocative meaning is that part of the word-meaning suggested by the words before or after the word in discussion.
Stylistic meaning and affective meaning are revealed by means of collocations.

1.多义关系的形成:Polysemy is a common feature peculiar to all nature language that a word has more than one sense.
An overwhelming majority of words are polysemous. When a word is first coined, it is always monosemic. But in the course of development, the same symbol must be used to express more meanings. The result is polysemy.
