What is the distinction between ideogramology and phonogramology?

“Ideogramology” and “phonogramology” are new terms in linguistics that refer to the study of both ideograms and phonograms separately. Ideogramology and phonogramology are two different approaches to study ideographic languages and phonographic languages, also known as phonetic languages, of world languages. Ideogramology refers to the study of ideographic languages in terms of the meaning of ideograms whereas phonogramology is the study of phonographic (phonetic) languages representing sounds and phonemes. Little research has been conducted in these aspects, especially the research of ideogramology (mainly Chinese). In this section we will discuss both of these terms that might be interested to some linguists and language educators:

Ideogramology: This term could refer to the study or analysis of ideograms, their use, evolution, and significance within writing systems and languages. It might encompass research into the development of ideographic writing systems, their cultural and linguistic contexts, and their role in communication and cognition.

Phonogramology: Similarly, this term might refer to the study or analysis of phonograms, which are written symbols that represent sounds or phonemes in a language. Phonogramology could involve research into various writing systems, the principles governing their use of phonograms, and their implications for language structure and literacy.

In essence, while both terms likely involve the study of written symbols within linguistic contexts, ideogramology focuses on ideographic symbols representing ideas or concepts, while phonogramology focuses on symbols representing sounds or phonemes. These terms are not commonly used in academic discourse, and their definitions could vary depending on the context in which they are used. (Citation needed)
