| Abstract | ||
| The term 'arbitrary' is used in language to be associated with the relation between form and meaning, between the signal and the massage. Exceptions in all languages are called onomatopoeia , the non-arbitrary connection between form and meaning . But the vast majority of all languages are non onomatopoeic in that , given the form , it is impossible to predict the meaning ( Lyons:1981:19). | ||
