arbitrary sign

基本解释

这种关系十分必要，但是它又有任意性。
Since Saussure(1916)put forward language sign's arbitrary principle, some linguists both at home and abroad raised their different views successively.
自从索绪尔（ 1916）提出语言符号任意性原则以来，国内外一些语言学家先后提出了不同的看法。
I analyse some conclusions of spectrum arbitrary and give two sign patterns. then I prove two classes sign pattern matrix that are spectrally arbitrary using Nilpotent-Jacobi method.
分析了谱任意的相关结论并给出了两类符号模式，然后运用幂零雅可比方法证明了两类符号模式矩阵的谱任意性。

Their relationship is necessary but, as we'll see in a minute, arbitrary, and each sign is like that.
这种关系十分必要，但是它又有任意性。
