Abstract

The article focuses on the issues concerning the conventionality of deeper aspects of language. According to the author, there are probably two reasons to doubt the conventionality of language, including the concept of closely tied up with logic in which logic is not conventional and the generative linguistic that do not have any humanly possible alternatives. Furthermore, he presents his arguments regarding the two aspects of language in which he begins with an outline of what social conventions are and how they differ from other types of norms.
