WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINE SYLLABUS

PICTOGRAM A  pictogram , also called a  pictogramme ,  pictograph , or simply  picto ,  and also an ' icon ', is an  ideogram  that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object. Pictographs are often used in writing and graphic systems in which the characters are to a considerable extent pictorial in appearance. Pictography is a form of  writing  which uses representational, pictorial  drawings , similarly to  cuneiform  and, to some extent,  hieroglyphic writing , which also uses drawings as phonetic letters or  determinative  rhymes. In c e rtain modern use, pictograms participate to a  formal language .
