CULTURAL TRANSMISSION:- Cultural transmission basically means the transfer of language from one generation to other. Like the language a family follows or speaks is the language that will be spoken by the coming or future generations.

PRODUCTIVITY This property basically is related with forming new sentences and actions etc by using already existing words of our language. It involves the infinite utterances made by the person. Production is a system in which something new or already existing is created therefore in language productivity can be defined as the quality of forming new sentences, showing different actions to make understand different meanings etc. In children, this productivity property is very strong as children are capable of forming new utterances which are unique and never heard before.

It increases the versatility and flexibility of the communication system. In short it means that there is no natural connection between the linguistic form and its meaning.
