Meaning: refers to the sense and referents of these elements of expression.

Context: refers to the social situation is uttered and includes whatever has been expressed earlier i that situation

Displacement

Arbitrariness

no logical relationship between the word and object it refers to

Productivity

related to the ability of human language to form an infinite number of expression

Cultural Transimission

the process whereby knowledge of a language is passed from one generation to next

Duality

is a property of language whereby linguistic forms have two simultaneous levels of sound production and meaning also called 'double articulation'.

with this complexity, the rest of creation will not understand our language. But there are also those who can train human language to animals, but they don't have anything like the one above. nor can they develop human language. This proves that human language is unique and cannot be easily imitated
