Usage Note
Significación is somewhat more formal than the everyday significado (meaning) and tends to appear in academic, literary, or philosophical writing. It can refer to the importance of something (una decisión de gran significación) as well as its symbolic or semantic content. In linguistics, significación and significado are often used interchangeably, though significado is by far the more common term in everyday speech.
Examples
"Este símbolo tiene una significación especial."
