DEFINITION (2): “Symbols are acts or objects that have come to be socially accepted as standing for something else. They come to represent other things through the shared understandings people have. […] Symbols are a powerful code or shorthand for representing and dealing with aspects of the world about us. […] Probably the most important symbols of all are found in language -a socially structured system of sound patterns (words and sentences) with specific and arbitrary meanings. Language is the cornerstone of every culture. […] It is the chief vehicle by which people communicate ideas, information, attitudes, and emotions to one another, and it is the principal means by which human beings create culture and transmit it from generation to generation.” (Hughes and Kroehler 2009: 45).
