This system relies on agreed-upon conventions to convey specific musical elements, much like how language uses arbitrary symbols to represent concepts and meanings.

Why is language defined as an arbitrary system of vocal symbols?
Human languages are arbitrary by nature: There is no reason why a furry domestic animal that purrs should be called cat, and not blop or fleechtafly.The fact that different languages use different words to describe the same thing is, in itself, a proof of arbitrariness.Grammatical structures are just as arbitrary; for instance, the English language uses mainly a subject-verb-object structure while the German language puts verbs at the end of the sentence, etc.

Why can not be a language fully arbitrary?
Because it would be incomprehensible. Take all the sounds that people are capable of making, make sound bites out of them and randomly associate them. What do you have? Meaningless noise. It is because we learn which sounds not to make, which combinations of sounds do not make words, and which combinations of words do not make coherent sentences, and to discard the meaningless sounds, words, and sentences that we are able to use language at all. For example, your question does not use proper grammar, but an English speaker automatically corrects it to say "Why can a language not be fully arbitrary?" It's wrong but not arbitrary, because it is close to the correct sentence. Had you written "Language not be a fully arbitrary can why?" it is so wrong that nobody would understand it.

What are 5 characteristics of language?
Arbitrary symbols: Language uses arbitrary symbols, such as words, to represent objects and ideas. Structured rules: Language follows a set of rules governing how words are combined to form meaningful sentences. Generative: Language allows for the creation of an infinite number of novel sentences to express new ideas. Dynamic: Language evolves over time as speakers introduce new words, meanings, and changes in grammar. Social: Language is a shared system of communication used by a community of speakers to interact and convey information.
