Abstract
This paper is an attempt to discover the semiotic relationship between time and language in the motion film Arrival. There is a clear attempt from the makers of this film to blend linguistic research with humane narrative. Time and Semiotics play seminal factors in this film as they both mark the understanding of the unique plot structure of the film that converts a popular Hollywood theme into an academic research. This study will also examine the practicability of linguistic relativity in this film through the lead character Dr. Louse Banks. It will also shade some light considering novel languages from a culturally and temporally connected perspectives.
Highlights
Outside the representation of hostile aliens, superintelligent computers, and peak human capabilities, it is rare to have a popular blockbuster exploring combinations of semiotic relativity, cognitive neuroscience, and humane narrative
The view of the language is shared by linguists Guy Deutscher as “habits of speech are cultivated from the earliest age, it is only natural that they can settle into habits of mind that go beyond language itself, affecting your experiences, perceptions, associations, feelings, memories and orientation in the world (Does the language you speak)." The misreading of language is part of linguistic relativity that we lose in terms of learning a new language because of symbolic exchange of meaning
It is quite evident that Arrival as a feature film features more about memory, thought rewiring, love and fortitude of human relationship rather than a human story told through semiotics and linguistics
