WHAT DOES LOGOGRAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

logogram

Logogram

A logogram, or logograph, is a grapheme which represents a word or a morpheme. This stands in contrast to phonograms, which represent phonemes or combinations of phonemes, and determinatives, which mark semantic categories. Logograms are commonly known also as "ideograms". Strictly speaking, however, ideograms represent ideas directly rather than words and morphemes, and none of the logographic systems described here is truly ideographic. A feature of logograms is that a single logogram may be used by a plurality of languages to represent words with similar meanings. While disparate languages may also use the same or similar alphabets, abjads, abugidas, syllabaries and the like, the degree to which they may share identical representations for words with disparate pronunciations is much more limited. Modern examples include for example the logograms for "Ladies"

Definition of logogram in the English dictionary

The definition of logogram in the dictionary is a single symbol representing an entire morpheme, word, or phrase, as for example the symbol meaning per cent.
