Answer :

 The primary meaning of the "arbitrariness of language" is that for the vast majority of words, there is no relationship between the sounds associated with the word and the physical object or action that the word signifies. For example, there is no natural reason why a TABLE should be associated with [tebl] in English or [mesa] in Spanish or [astal] in Hungarian, etc. 

In terms of grammar, there are many different strategies possible for marking the relationship between the different nouns of a sentence. Why languages follow one or another strategy is also arbitrary, based not on any natural reasoning, but on the accidents of historical variation.

Answer:
