Language is nothing but agreed upon symbols that enable us to enhance our communication. With that in mind, it might seem obvious at first that the specific meaning of each symbol and combination of symbols is empirical for its best use. However, there is more than one side to this argument. It can be easily argued that language shouldn't be studied in depth and defining meanings of language is pointless, if we all know it and can be made understood, then why bother with small differences in language? These affirmations, from both sides, cannot be made without the appropriate consideration to several cases and problems this might cause.
To find a suitable answer to these questions, several areas of knowledge should be considered.
