Phonogram (linguistics)

Phonogram (linguistics)

A phonogram is a grapheme (written character) which represents a phoneme (speech sound) or combination of phonemes, such as the letters of the Latin alphabet or the Japanese kana. This contrasts with logograms, which represents words and morphemes (meaningful units of language), and determinatives, silent characters used to mark semantic categories.
