摘要：

According to Saussure,The arbitrary nature of language is"first principle of linguistic".With the development of cognitive science,some exaggerate the importance of iconicity;some even suggest iconicity should replace arbitrariness.What leads to this extreme view is the misunderstanding of arbitrariness.The paper aims at advocating an overall and objective view towards the arbitrary nature of language,putting forward that arbitrariness and iconicity are not incompatible but complementary.
