    Graphemes are generally defined as minimally significant elements which, when taken together, comprise the set of symbols from which texts may be constructed. [14] All writing systems require a set of defined graphemes, collectively called a script. [15] The concept of the grapheme is similar to that of the phoneme used in the study of spoken ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonogram_(linguistics)

    A phonogram is a grapheme i.e. one or more written characters which represent a phoneme (speech sound), [1] rather than a bigger linguistic unit such as morphemes or words. [2] For example, "igh" is an English-language phonogram that represents the / aɪ / sound in "high".

    Vowels are indicated through the positional relation of two following consonant-graphemes in the line-system. For instance sch [ʃ] is represented by one grapheme. To write the word sch-e-sch , which is not an actual German word, one and another sch-grapheme is connected by a short line at the same height above the line.

    Akkadian language syllabograms. Syllabograms are graphemes used to write the syllables or morae of words. Syllabograms in syllabaries are analogous to letters in alphabets, which represent individual phonemes, or logograms in logographies, which represent morphemes.

    After this, if there is an additional consonant inside the word, it is placed at the end of the syllable. This consonant is the syllable coda. Thus if a consonant cluster of two consonants occurs between vowels, they are broken up between syllables: one goes with the syllable before, the other with the syllable after.

  8. Icelandic orthography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_orthography

    A vowel is long when the first consonant following it is [p t k s] and the second [v j r], e.g. esja, vepja, akrar, vökvar, tvisvar. A vowel is also long in monosyllabic substantives with a genitive -s whose stem ends in a single [p t k] following a vowel (e.g. ráps , skaks ), except if the final [p t k] is assimilated into the [s] , e.g. báts .

  9. Graphemics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphemics

    Graphemics or graphematics is the linguistic study of writing systems and their basic components, i.e. graphemes.. At the beginning of the development of this area of linguistics, Ignace Gelb coined the term grammatology for this discipline; [1] later some scholars suggested calling it graphology [2] to match phonology, but that name is traditionally used for a pseudo-science.
