Symbolization - an image , designation of something with the help of symbols; [1] the use of symbols to convey meaning, content; visible, that through association reflects something else that is invisible (for example, an eagle - a symbol of the United States of America ). Symbolization can be understood as the practice of representing things with symbolic meaning.
Symbolization is peculiar only to man. This is the process of replacing some images with other idealized formations, characterized only by distant similarities, based on random, secondary, insignificant details; the unconscious psychic mechanism by which one object or idea represents another and is not recognized as such; a general mechanism by which reflection of other things, a class of things or an attribute of something is carried out.
In a broad sense, all types of substitution of simple verbal expression of observable and hypothetical phenomena by other, indirect ways of displaying - mathematical, chemical, physical, phonetic , speech and the like.
