accepted by everyone

Language is Symbolic
Words are arbitrary symbols that have no meaning in themselves
example: when a baby try to talk some people will understand even if they don't know what
the baby try to say

we can only understand a language if we know what it sign stand for
example: use of sign Language by deaf people or traffic signs,


Duality
organization of Language at two levels

Level 1
human mouth produce single words...example I,b,a (doesn't mean anything)
Level 2: we combine sounds to produce meaning, we create words and that words can
create sentences.

The way word needs to be structured in a meaningful manner and to make sense.

Example:
"Town I going am to"(✖)
"I am going to town"(✔)
