There is nothing inherent in the nature of a large quadruped well-suited for long-distance running that requires us to call this creature a "horse." This illustrates the linguistic design feature of arbitrariness

Explanation:Arbitrariness : No resemblance between the language signal and the thing that it represents. It means there is no connection or relationship between the linguistic forms and the meaning e. g when we pronounce the word house, it has nothing to do with the shape of the house. In animal communication, there is often a strong recognizable link between the actual signal and the message an animal wishes to convey. In human language, there is no link whatsoever between the signal and the message. There is no intrinsic connection between, for example the word elephant and the animal it symbolizes.
