Chá Pedagógico – Arrival, the movie: linguistics review

Chá Pedagógico is a monthly show hosted by Professor Andre Hedlund and Professor Rodolfo Mattiello where Linguistics and Neuroscience aspects of Language Learning are discussed. The episodes are live directly from Instagram and also streamed on Youtube.

Do you think it could be possible to travel through time just by having knowledge of how a different language works? Well, that is definitely not very plausible, but the movie Arrival (Paramount, 2016) says so. However, learning other languages do make us update our epistemic notions, time included.

This is our Linguistics review of the movie Arrival. I hope you’ll have as much fun as we did.
