Answer:

Language can be called arbitrary because, Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent and The word chair does not resemble the object it represents.

Explanation:

Languages are Arbitrary means that there is no relationship between the words that we use and the natural meaning of that particular word.

Words do not inherently resemble the objects that they represent. There are certain words which might be meaningless to some, but those are the exact words which are understood by many. Say for example, the word ‘chair’ doesn’t necessarily resemble the object it represents. It doesn’t tell us anything about what exactly the kind or type of object it is referring to.
