| dc.description.abstract | A scientist and a linguist board a helicopter, and the scientist says to the linguist, 'What is the cornerstone of civilisation, science or language?' It might sound like the opening line of a joke, but it's actually from the opening sequence of the film Arrival (2016). In the film, aliens have landed on our doorstep, and our scientist and linguist have been chosen as suitable emissaries to establish contact. The scientist, perhaps wishing to size up his new colleague, then poses the question. Whose field has been more important to the advancement of the human race? Science or language? | en_GB |
