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.

Alenkasestr [34]

A Pun means playing with words that sound alike or have more than one meaning. Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in these lines. A pun adds a comedic effect and a sense of irony to the passage. Sometimes it also creates a mockery effect in the passage.

<h3>What is a Pun?</h3>

A Pun means to use the meaning of the words interchangeably to crack a joke or to make a satire.

William Shakespeare has used single and sole as a Pun here. Mercutio is saying that Romeo has cracked a silly joke, the fine skin of the pump (shoes) is all worn out, and the joke is the only thing he is left with. This has created a sense of humor and comedic effect in the passage.

Therefore, 'single' and 'sole' are used as puns in the passage which are creating a humorous effect in the passage.
