What characteristics of language do you think should be included in a good,comprehensive definition of language?
选项
答案
Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.First of all,language is a system,i.e.,elements of language are combined according to rules.This explains why“iblk”is not a possible sound combination in English,and also why“Been he wounded has”is not an acceptable sentence in English. Second,language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between the word“pen” and the thing we use to write with. Third,language is vocal because the primary medium is sound for all languages,no matter how well developed their writing systems are. The term“human”in the definition is meant to specify that language is human-specific,i.e.,it is very different from the communication systems other forms of life possess,such as bird songs and bee dances.
