Phonogram (linguistics)
Currently, Phonogram (linguistics) is a topic that has captured the attention of a wide public due to its impact on different areas of society. Since its emergence, Phonogram (linguistics) has generated debates and discussions ranging from its relevance in history to its influence on people's daily lives. In this article, we will explore in detail the most significant aspects related to Phonogram (linguistics), analyzing its origins, evolution and the implications it has today. Additionally, we will examine how Phonogram (linguistics) has shaped different aspects of culture, politics, economics and technology, showing its influence in different contexts over time.
A phonogram is a grapheme i.e. one or more written characters which represent a phoneme (speech sound), rather than a bigger linguistic unit such as morphemes or words. For example, "igh" is an English-language phonogram that represents the /aɪ/ sound in "high". Whereas the word phonemes refers to the sounds, the word phonogram refers to the letter(s) that represent that sound.
Phonograms contrast with logograms, which represent words and morphemes (meaningful units of language), and determinatives, silent characters used to mark semantic categories.
A writing system that consists of phonograms shows phonography and can be called phonographic.
