Why is a language a good example of a social fact?
- It only exists while someone is speaking it
- Each speaker freely invents its rules
- It exists before you and you must follow it
Show the answer
Answer: It exists before you and you must follow it
You inherit a language you did not create, and if you ignore its rules you are simply not understood, which shows both externality and constraint.
