    Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used by a social group to communicate and express ideas, identities, and emotions. It has properties such as being arbitrary, having a limited set of distinct sounds, and being generative to produce an unlimited number of sentences from a finite set of units. Language conveys information about things not present in time and place. It is studied through historical linguistics to understand how languages change and are related through language families and cognates.

    participants in its culture, express
    arbitrary vocal symbols by means
    themselves. The functions of language
    of which a social group
    include communication, the expression
    cooperates.”
