Language learning.
Language
is a system of arbitrary, vocal symbols which permit all people in a given
culture or other people who have learned the system of that culture or other
people who have learned the system of that culture to communicate or interact
(Finocchario, 1964:8).
Language
is a system of communication by sound, operating through the organs of speech
and hearing among members of a given community and using vocal symbols
possessing arbitrary conventional meanings (Pei, 1966:141).
Thus
language is a conventional system of arbitrary vocal symbols through which
human thought is conveyed or communicated from one human being to another.
