Phonogram (linguistics)

In today's world, Phonogram (linguistics) has gained great relevance in different aspects of life. Whether on a personal, professional or social level, Phonogram (linguistics) plays a crucial role in decision making and the way we face daily challenges. For a long time, Phonogram (linguistics) has been the subject of study and analysis by experts in various disciplines, who seek to better understand its impact on society. In this article, we will explore different aspects related to Phonogram (linguistics), from its evolution over time to its influence on modern life. We will also analyze its importance in individual and collective development, as well as the possible implications it has for the future.

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 // 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.
