Episode 282 – EXOLINGUISTICS: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD W/ DR. MICHAEL SALLA

Even though the weekend was plagued with protests and traffic stoppages, I managed to escape it all and retreated once again to the movie theater. I had been talking about how I have been anticipating this new movie called, Arrival, because it has a passing resemblance to the book, Childhood’s End, by Arthur C. Clarke.As I have said before the book, Childhood’s End, has inspired many alien invasion stories and movies, however, this time the story of Arrival is not all about the aliens but a lesson in language, dialogue, and time perception.
