Abstract


Linguistic relativism originally comes from anthropology and linguistics. However, most ofthe interpretations of linguistic relativism has come a long way considering the beginning ofthe 20th century – when it was established. One of the reasons for that lies in itsinterdisciplinary potential. In various arts, we find many applications of the philosophy oflinguistic relativism. In this paper, we write about the application of the Sapir–Whorfhypothesis in the American movie Arrival (2016) and the novel from Bosnian writer EnesKarić named Boje višnje (2016).
