Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Symbol"

A:


formal symbols have no meaning. they are just symbols.

symbols are just drawing that typically have meanings to them (like the Egyptian hieroglyphs). they are saying these “formal” symbols do not have any meanings. they are just drawings.

This sentence is overly complicated for no reason. It uses fancy words and grammar structure to really say not much at all. it’s not something regular native speaker would say.

also, “in the usual sense” is pretty pointless in this sentence because when you say that phrase, there has to be two options to choose from: the unusual/unknown meaning, and then usual one. but “meaning” has only one, well, meaning. idk, it even confuses me because it just looks like they are trying to sound fancy without actually saying anything intelligent.


this text is oddly worded and i would stay away from sentences like this because this confuses even native speakers. the words are not used with purpose and do not help the reader understand what they are trying to say.
