Element 21
Sy . General
Symbolic elements not fitting a specific sub-type.
What it is
Symbol.General elements form the largest single sub-type in our entire corpus. They encode the general symbolic character of text — the fact that language is a system of arbitrary signs with conventional meanings — without specializing in any particular kind of symbol. They apply across all symbolic contexts as a baseline for symbolic content.
