distinctiveness


Explanation:
I haven't come across 'special particularity' before Navarre's FRE/ENG dictionary, so - having worked in IP (patents & copyright) - wonder whether this is translatorese.

Otherwise .- mindful & heedful of Tony M.'s distinguishing traits - take your IATE pick:

NB the syntax: it's en communication visuelle de *...* and not de *un* signe distinctif ...., so a 'sign' doesn't fit as neatly´. The question may in fact be deceptively 'pro'.

Example sentence(s):
  • The purpose of this study is to examine qualitatively how respondents create national distinctiveness using rhetorical identity strategies in the context of four Finnish national symbols.
