[心]这是一个语言学系列的知识点合集[心]
想学好语言，首先要知道语言是什么？
语言是一套任意的，具有特殊含义的符号，这些符号可以是声音的（主要表现形式），也可以是视觉的，具有系统性和生成性。语言主要用于语言社区和文化中的交流作用，并且人们学习语言的方式大体相似，是有规律可循的。
所以简单来说，语言就是一套用于交流的特殊符号。
A consolidation of the definitions of language yields the following composite definition.
1. Language is systematic and generative.
2. Language is a set of arbitrary symbols.
3. Those symbols are primarily vocal, but may also be visual.
4. The symbols have conventionalized meaning to which they refer.
5. Language is used for communication.
6. Language operates in a speech community or culture.
7. Language is essentially human, although possibly not limited to humans.
8. Language is acquired by all people in much the same way - Language and language learning both have universal characteristics.
