It is evident that language does not remain in a static state; rather, it is continuously developing and changing. The ongoing transformations of human life have a direct impact on language change. In this sense, language is a dynamic system that constantly adapts to meet the evolving needs of society. With the increasing complexity of life, humans naturally seek efficient ways of communication with the aim of saving both time and energy. In this context, non-linguistic symbols such as traffic signs, commercial logos, emojis, and others play a crucial role. These symbols, at the same time, convey clear meanings and are often universally recognizable, regardless of an individual’s educational background. Non-linguistic symbols, as a category of signs, have been used by humans since ancient times for communication and interaction. The complexity of life has led humans to adopt more convenient ways of organizing their lives with minimal expenditure of energy and time. This has encouraged humans to think in terms of economy, thereby developing a tendency to simplify their expressions, conserve energy, and reduce the burden placed on the speech organs. In this regard, non-verbal symbols play an important role in linguistic economy by accelerating the transmission of meaning and reducing the effort required in writing and speaking. From this standpoint, the present study discusses a range of non-linguistic symbols in relation to linguistic economy.
