Visual languages and the problems with ideographies: A commentary on Morin

Cohn,Neil
; 
Schilperoord,Joost
Abstract
Morin argues that ideographies are limited because graphic codes lack a capacity for proliferating standardization. However, natural graphic systems display rich standardization and can be placed in sequences using complex combinatorial structures. In contrast, ideographies are not natural, and their limitations lie in their attempts to artificially force a graphic system to behave like a writing system.
