Secondly, some compounds are not entirely arbitrary either, “snow” and “storm” are arbitrary or unmotivated, while “snowstorm” is less so. Syntax is sometimes less arbitrary. For example, we cannot say “He sat down and came in” but can say that “He came in and sat down”,because the sequence of clauses and the real happenings are corresponding to each other, in other words, they are motivated. So we can say “arbitrariness” of language is a matter of degree. (4 points)
