摘　　要：在索绪尔的语言学中,任意性原则占有十分重要的地位。然而,仔细推敲其对任意性的论述过程,不难发现很多缺陷,如能指和所指之间虽然没有内在联系,但不应理解为没有任何联系的任意性;多种语言对同一所指表现出的多样性不是任意性的表现。而偶然性却能够很好地解释这些,是索绪尔的论述应该得出的结论。而且偶然性与象似性可以兼容,因此,偶然性可以很好地解决任意性与象似性之争。The principle of arbitrariness is of great importance in Saussure＇s Linguistics. However, after careful study of his reasoning, drawbacks can be easily found. For example, none inner link between signified and signifier doesn＇t necessarily mean no link at all; the diversity of different languages doesn＇t lead to arbitrariness. Contingency, on the other hand, can explain these phenomena. Compatible with iconicity, it should he what Saussure called arbitrariness. Therefore, contingency should be the solution of the controversy between arbitrariness and iconicity.
