Why is language symbolic?
What will be an ideal response?
Symbols represent other things. Words are symbols which represent people, places, feelings, and things. Words
used together and understood by a large group form a language. Words help us communicate more effectively
because they represent both abstract principles and concrete things we can actually see, touch, or hear. Knowledge
of this language makes it possible for us to recognize the symbols others use to send their messages.
