Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A lexigram is a symbol used to represent a word, typically used in communication with non-human primates or other animals who have been trained to use them. A vocabulary (A) refers to a set of words known by an individual or group. Rules for combining meaningful units (C) would refer to grammar or syntax. Transmission of a message (D) refers to communication in general and is not specific to lexigrams. An open, arbitrary, discrete system that allows for displacement (E) could refer to a language in general but does not specifically define a lexigram.
