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.

Answer:

I have a couple things that I would enjoy learning. For one is a new language of course. I have always wanted to learn French or Intalian. I could look at websites or even dictornaires for learning the new language. I would have to take time and have confidence in myself for the language.

Another skill I would like to learn is a muscial instrument. I would need a book of notes for the instrument. Learning an instrument would be at the top of my list most likely only because music is one of the big parts of my life, and somehow I can always relate to the song I listen to. The instrument I would like to learn is either piano or even the gutiar.

There are still many skills I would like to learn is Photography, Memory (have better memory like photographic memory), and Repair (changing tires, oil change, etc.)
