  1. According to the story one characteristic of language that is highlighted is that LANGUAGE IS VOCAL. The mother initially used to talk a lot and pronounce several words to improve or teach the child words in Korean language which proves the point. Also, the mother used to read out stories and talked a lot with the kid so that she learns the language.

  2. It is also stated in the story that the mother used to understand several things even though she never spoke, cried, giggled, smiled, etc. This point shows that language is Symbolic. Language necessarily doesn't require to consist of words or sentences it can contain certain expressions and feelings which are intangible.
