Abstract

The use of metaphor represents people’s cognition. As well as in the movie, figurative language termed ontological metaphor in movie script has now been a brand-new idea since metaphor creates a significant piece of cinematic work and it gives an essential insight toward the dialogue, action, and character development. This study aims at answering and discovering the concepts of ontologial metaphors found in the movie and what carries the messages or meanings in the concept itself, and how that figure of speech influences the movie script. The method used in this study was qualitative-descriptive in nature, and content analysis research to analyse the data by systematically evaluating them based on context. The result indicated that there are three types of different concepts of ontological metaphors found in Arrival movie script.
