Quote:

A pictogram can be understood in any language since it tells a story understandably only by using pictures. A road sign which is used worldwide as linguistic symbolization is a good example.

In the quote, someone said that the word 'linguistic' is not proper but I think it is correct.

1.Could you tell me if the word 'linguistic' in the context is correct?
2.If it's not proper, which word can it be replaced with?

Thanks.

I think it's OK. Symbolize = represent by means of symbols. Linguistic = relating to language or linguistics.
