Question Statement :

The more prevalent view of language, at least since the scientific revolution and still assumed in some manner by most linguists today, considers any language to be a set of arbitrary but conventionally agreed upon words or signs, linked by a purely formal system of syntactic and grammatical rules. Language, in this view, is rather like a code; it is a way of representing actual things and events in the perceived world, but it has no internal, no arbitrary connections to that world, and hence is readily separable from it.
