It is essential to the humanity. Without language, we are virtually impossible to live; without it, we can barely remember things from the past. People uses language to communicate between each other and even living things over time and space. ]]> 2020-09-03 01:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716637638 shiarina_wang https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716640229 Language is arbitrary, it changes from time to time:
It means that language is a flexible system in which it may changes while interpreting by people from different time periods.
# Language forms are arbitrary instead of iconic ]]> 2020-09-03 01:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716640229 paul_lee2 https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716640290 Language is arbitrary. It changes from time to time. For example, from Shakespeare's English to modern English. Artists with different identities and aspects would express different ideas through language through a variety of ways, such as music, novels, and films. In my opinion, Language is similar to a time machine. It is able to take readers to the past, present or future and portray the development process of the world's history and Literature. Humans can be attracted by the beauty of language, and we can express our utterance through the internity of its meanings.]]> 2020-09-03 01:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716640290 ryanwang13_1 https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641223 "Language is arbitrary. It changes from time to time." The reason why language is arbitrary is that its form does not have a natural relationship with its meaning. Words only work as a system, as each word derives its own meaning. There's no physical or virtual resemblance in the word and the meaning.  (Ryan)]]> 2020-09-03 01:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641223 https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641956 Language is a indispensable tool for communication.]]> 2020-09-03 01:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641956 https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641958 Thomas Ho: "Language is arbitrary, it changes from time to time." Language is arbitrary because they have nothing common to the information that they code. The word "rat" for example has nothing to do with the shape, color or features of the rat. The word would not just come to you when you first see the animal]]> 2020-09-03 01:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716641958 zacklai https://padlet.com/ishouinternationalkh/64amldcyd7bj/wish/716642608 A language is a structured system of communication.

It is a tool used everywhere for people to communicate with each other. We can see this by how languages are slightly different in different places. That is because people in different places have different habits and they might need new words or different ways of language to communicate better. This show how language is the tool universally for people to communicate and understand each other.

To me, language is necessary to some extend, because you could also express yourself with other forms of communication, such as music. Moreover, you could understand each other by people's body language such as their facial expressions. I would say language is the easiest and probably the most efficient tool for understanding, bc we've been practicing it since the day we were born, but it isn't indispensable.
