pictographs

Explanation:

    Pictograms or pictographs are signs that, through a figure or a symbol, allow the representation of something to develop. Certain ancient alphabets were created around pictograms.

    In prehistory, man recorded various events through pictograms. The figures that appear in the rock paintings, for example, can be considered like pictograms. In the development of writing, therefore, pictograms were essential.

    Pictograms help eliminate language barriers as they are universally understandable. Therefore, they are often used as signals, giving useful information or making warnings.

    The image (tablet) of a knife and fork, or fork and spoon, is a pictogram referring to a restaurant. In a similar sense, a person's drawing in a bed is related to a health center. These are pictograms whose messages can be understood by people from any country, regardless of the languages they speak.

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
