As we just learned, the relationship between the symbols that make up our language and their referents is arbitrary, which means they have no meaning until we assign it to them.
This is a tricky one because words in different regions of our own country have different meaning. For example when I moved to Tennessee for a couple years they use tabogins. I had to no idea what they were referring to, but turns out thats just a beanie. Moving to the south I had to basically learn a whole new vocabulary, Kinfolk which is family member or close friend. Holler, didint mean to yell but it means a valley or long road in the base of the hills where people live.
