抄録	This paper examines differences in public transport guiding arrows across linguistic regions and explores their iconicity from a new perspective. Arrows may appear as universal symbols. As guidance arrows, however, their meanings and systems vary by linguistic context. In Japan, arrows represent the trajectories the passengers have to follow; they point to the path to select in France and indicate the general direction of destinations in Germany. Icons are generally analysed with similarity between form and referent, but similarity cannot explain our case. To discuss this issue, we introduced Monneretʼs (2014) concept of“ mapping” and showed that the operation of “mapping” functions according to a cognitive mode specific to each linguistic culture. This result highlights how language influences the interpretation of visual symbols.
