属于某种记号语言系统的 Explanation: The part "ideo-" in such words as ideograph, ideology, ideolect, ideosyncracy and so on means "private" of its Greek origin. "Ideosemantic" means "pertaining to a particular sign language system" and, for this reason, I would translate it into Chinese as 属于某种记号语言系统的. Of course, there might be some other ways to express the same thing in Chinese. I wish you good luck. |

a new word? should it be ideo-semantic? ideographic? Explanation: a new word? ideographic and semiotic both seem to have to do with symbols...(perhaps the author explains what he means in the text?) Google search result: Did you mean: ideo-semantic Dominic Pettman-The Thonglines-Sydney Olympics,opening ceremony ... I had been lulled into an insecurity complex after too many episodes of The Games, and I decide to settle into the serious business of ideo-semiotic analysis. ... www.blackjelly.com/Mag2/features/thongolympics.htm - 19k - Cached - Similar pages Did you mean to search for: ideo-semantic ideographic writing = a writing system using symbols (ideograms) to represent whole words or concepts ("ideas"). The Chinese writing system is often considered to be ideographic. semiotics = 1 the theory of signs 2 the analysis of systems using signs or signals for the purpose of communication (semiotic systems). The most important semiotic system is human language, but there are other systems eg Morse code, sign language, traffic signals => try English mono Kudoz?

The asker has declined this answer Comment: the meanings of the two separate words are clear but when they are combined together to form a new word, the meaning becomes abstruse. The article fails to provide any hint of its meaning |
