问题 Does motivation contradict the theory of "arbitrariness and conventionality" concerning the relationship between linguistic symbols and their senses? Why?

选项

答案No. Because motivation accounts for the connection between the linguistic symbols and their meaning. But since the relationship between the word-form and meaning is conventional and arbitrary, words should be non-motivated. Nevertheless, many words are motivated to a certain extent in terms of sound, morphology, semantics, and etymology.
