arbitrariness in language is the idea that the relationship between the sound of a word and its meaning is coincidental. for example, there is nothing in particular about the sounds of the word \table\ that indicate the object that we know of as a table. there is some question about whether or not swear words violate the idea of arbitrariness.
true
false

Explanation:

Arbitrariness in language means the sound - meaning relationship is coincidental. Swear words also follow this as there's no inherent link between their sounds and meanings. For example, the word "damn" (a swear word) doesn't have a sound that inherently means what it does.

Answer:

True
