The present volume illuminates the area of time conceptualizations as contrasted with space, and conceptualized in terms of other domains of human experience.
03
00
As time cannot be observed directly, it must be analyzed in terms of mental categories, which manifest themselves on various linguistic levels. In this interdisciplinary volume, novel approaches to time are proposed that consider temporality without time, on the one hand, and the coding of time in language, including sign language, and gestures, on the other. The contributions of the volume demonstrate that time is conceptualized not only in terms of space but in terms of other domains of human experience as well.
Renowned specialists in the study of time, the authors of this volume investigate this fascinating topic from a variety of perspectives – philosophical, linguistic, anthropological, (neuro)psychological, and computational – demonstrating a familiarity with both classical and recent approaches to the study of time and including up-to-date corpus-based methods of study.
The volume will be of interest to philosophers, linguists (including specialists in cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics), anthropologists, (neuro)psychologists, translators, language teachers, and graduate students.

In this article I argue that whatever the preferred construal of time is, it is always further reducible to one that assumes tenseless reality. In particular, I argue for the superiority of an approach according to which the differences between the future, present and past are quantitative on the level of basic building blocks over a more intuitive view on which the differences are, as on the surface level, qualitative. I demonstrate that a qualitative construal is reducible to a quantitative one and that as such the latter fares better with the B-theoretic, tenseless outlook on reality.

It is currently acknowledged that events constitute an integral part of the metaphysics and semantic machinery for interpreting natural language utterances (Davidson 1967, 1980). Most research into event semantics since Davidson and Parsons (Parsons 1990) has focused on questions relating to either aspectual classifications (Akstionsarten) or temporal semantics. One area that has received far less attention is the issue of event localization, that is, the problem of spatially situating events. In this paper, I discuss the procedures for identifying where events, as expressed in natural language, are located in space. Aspects of the semantics of event localization have been recently proposed, including the notion of the “shape” of a movement (Eschenbach et al. 1999; Zwarts 2006), as well as treating movement verbs as “path creation” predicates (Pustejovsky and Moszkowicz 2011). In this paper, I build on these and some additional observations to outline a more general semantics of event localization. I then outline a procedure that extends the path metaphor used for motion predicates, distinguishing between the event locus and the spatial aspect of an event. In the process, I discuss how localization is supervenient upon the participants in the events, but not as straightforwardly as one might expect.

People use space to structure their thoughts about time (e.g. Núñez & Cooperrider 2013). In this chapter, we first provide a brief overview of the various ways that we use space to talk, gesture, and reason about deictic and sequence time. We then discuss the strengths and limitations of the different methodologies used to study space-time associations. We argue that some methods are especially useful for documenting the existence of spatial construals of time, while others are more useful for examining their flexibility. We illustrate this point by describing circumstances under which temporal reasoning diverges from patterns in both language and gesture.

Do people think about time the way they talk about it? This chapter examines dissociations between temporal language and temporal thinking in speakers of English and of Darija, a dialect of Moroccan Arabic. In both languages, conventional metaphors suggest that the future is ahead of the speaker and the past is behind. Yet, English speakers typically conceptualize the future as rightward and the past as leftward – a spatial mapping that is not conventionalized in any known spoken language. Darija speakers typically conceptualize the past as ahead and the future a behind them – a spatial mapping that directly contradicts their verbal metaphors. Darija speakers’ “backward” mapping of time does not appear to arise from any feature of their language, or from their physical experience with the natural world, but rather from their cultural bias to focus on the past (i.e., to value their ancestry and practice ancient traditions). Analyses of verbal space-time metaphors reveal that humans’ temporal thinking depends, in part, on spatial mappings. Yet, essential features of these mappings, including their spatial orientation and direction, may be absent from language and can only be discovered using extra-linguistic methods. Beyond the influences of language and of physical experience, cultural values and non-linguistic cultural practices can play important roles in shaping our mental representations of time. As a result, at any moment people may be thinking about time differently from the way they are talking about it, using different spatial schemas.

The chapter builds on previous research into the concept of time in signed languages (Brennan 1983; Wilcox 2000; Taub 2001; Sutton-Spence and Woll 2010). Relying on the framework of the second generation cognitive linguistics (Lakoff and Johnson 1999), it discusses the key elements of the Western view of time as expressed in American, British, Polish, and other signed languages. Signs based on metaphors, metonymies, and interactions of these two conceptual mechanisms represent the conception of time rooted in classical physics (Newton 1729), the paradigm of life sciences (McGrath and Kelly 1986), and the efficiency-oriented concept of work (Lakoff and Johnson 1980). They reflect time’s linearity and cyclicity, its division into homogenous units, and its use as an economic resource.

There is ample evidence that people use spatial concepts to think and speak about time. Consistent with this notion, recent reaction time experiments have documented that the spatial coordinates of responses influence speeded decisions regarding temporal information. Specifically, classifying temporal linguistic information produces a space-time congruency effect on reaction time when responses with the left and right hand are arranged on the left-right axis. A similar effect can be observed for responses that consist of movements along the back-front axis. These findings are consistent with the view that time runs from left to right or from back to front. In the present article we review these results and assess the linguistic relevance of these two mental timelines for the comprehension of linguistic information at the word and sentence level.

This chapter presents an overview of some recent work in anthropology on how time cognition works and on the human measurement of time. It attempts to demonstrate how language, mind, social process and ecology interact to underpin the ways in which different cultural groups experience, use and understand time. I review how time is constituted as a domain, examining different kinds of unit by which time is divided, and thereafter consider the logics through which the organization of time is integrated. These problems include the juxtaposition of cyclical and linear notions; the intrinsic complementarity of idioms of space and time; whether ‘time as such’ is a cognitive domain and conceptual universal beyond the particularities of local culture experience; whether the architectures of dualism and cognitive economy are integral to our understanding of time; the extent to which memory and narrativity are crucial to human constructions of time; and whether certain aspects of time organization depend entirely on its encoding in language. The chapter concludes by agreeing with Stephen Levinson that the contribution of anthropology to understanding the language cognition of complex domains such as time is through its emphasis on grounded ethnography, an insistence on holistic approaches, on comparison and on the implications of integrating data from the extremes of cultural diversity.

It is widely assumed that there is a natural, prelinguistic conceptual domain of time whose linguistic organization is universally structured via metaphoric mapping from the lexicon and grammar of space and motion. We challenge this assumption on the basis of our research on the Amondawa (Tupi Kawahib) language and culture of Amazonia. Using both observational data and structured field linguistic tasks, we show that linguistic space-time mapping at the constructional level is not a feature of the Amondawa language, and is not employed by Amondawa speakers (when speaking Amondawa). Amondawa does not recruit its extensive inventory of terms and constructions for spatial motion and location to express temporal relations. Amondawa also lacks a numerically based calendric system. To account for these data, and in opposition to a Universal Space-Time Mapping Hypothesis, we propose a Mediated Mapping Hypothesis, which accords causal importance to the numerical and artefact-based construction of time-based (as opposed to event-based) time interval systems.

The paper focuses on the issues within the paradigm of Contemporary Metaphor Theory, concerning significant differences in the ways time is conceptualized in Chinese and English. Although it is still true that time is understood through space via metaphor, the paper provides evidence that time and space in Chinese present a blended form, rather than what is widely assumed to be conceptualization of one dimension in terms of another one. For instance, the Chinese word for the universe, conventionally referred to by the form entailing both space and time in its Chinese morphology, is now blended into one. Furthermore, the paper will argue that time, as a culturally sensitive entity, is more distinctly conceptualized as water in Chinese.

The present article analyzes the conceptual patterns of temporal deixis in Ainu, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Ryukyuan. It demonstrates that Lakoff and Johnson’s notions ‘moving time’ and ‘moving observer’ are more or less applicable to the five East Asian languages but are not necessarily mutually exclusive conceptions. Deictic expressions of time in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can presuppose both moving time and moving observer, while comparable expressions in Ainu and Ryukyuan, only moving time. It is argued that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean have busier “temporal scenery” for expressions of temporal deixis than Ainu and Ryukyuan do.

As a result of language contact, Southeast Asian languages belonging to different language families share features, such as phonemic tone and numeral classifiers. Similarities between Southeast Asian languages in the frequency of explicit temporal marking, and the reference to spatial and temporal relations with markers related to motion verbs might be also the result of language contact. Descriptions of markers of Southeast Asian languages that express temporal relations, differ in the literature due to their polysemy and due to the application of seemingly universal categories to the description of language specific concepts. This paper discusses universal categories and polysemy before presenting and comparing those grammatical markers of Burmese, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese that are associated with the marking of the categories past, anteriority, perfect or perfectivity.

A significant body of cognitive research has identified the way in which temporal horizons are developed in the human mind, as well as the influence they exert on individual and social behavior. This study demonstrates a cognitive schema of temporal horizon that emerges from the frequency of expressions denoting temporal distance in spontaneous linguistic performance of Polish speakers. Linguistic material analyzed in this study includes transcriptions of impromptu conversations conducted in informal personal contexts, which were compiled into a demographically annotated linguistic corpus that amounts to 2.4 million words. The results reveal that the temporal horizon functions predominantly within three distinctive brackets corresponding to one day, one year, and up to 50 year periods. Moreover, the findings indicate that it tends to alter dynamically with age.

This paper looks at the distribution of selected adverbials used to discretise and quantify time in units of minutes, seconds and hours in reference language corpora of Polish and English. We carry out an exploratory analysis of the distributional patterns of such expressions and report three main findings. Firstly, we observe that the discretisation intervals for minutes and seconds diverge from the overall frequency distribution of cardinal numerals in the two corpora. Secondly, a significant level of correlation has been found between frequency distributions of n-seconds and n-minutes time adverbials in Polish and English data. Finally, the distribution of salient intervals for n-hours adverbials differs considerably from the discretisation patterns observed for n-seconds and n-minutes expressions. We relate these findings to general cognitive aspects of quantification and further link them to the iconic clock dial-based time conceptualisation.

The present volume illuminates the area of time conceptualizations as contrasted with space, and conceptualized in terms of other domains of human experience.
03
00
As time cannot be observed directly, it must be analyzed in terms of mental categories, which manifest themselves on various linguistic levels. In this interdisciplinary volume, novel approaches to time are proposed that consider temporality without time, on the one hand, and the coding of time in language, including sign language, and gestures, on the other. The contributions of the volume demonstrate that time is conceptualized not only in terms of space but in terms of other domains of human experience as well.
Renowned specialists in the study of time, the authors of this volume investigate this fascinating topic from a variety of perspectives – philosophical, linguistic, anthropological, (neuro)psychological, and computational – demonstrating a familiarity with both classical and recent approaches to the study of time and including up-to-date corpus-based methods of study.
The volume will be of interest to philosophers, linguists (including specialists in cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics), anthropologists, (neuro)psychologists, translators, language teachers, and graduate students.

In this article I argue that whatever the preferred construal of time is, it is always further reducible to one that assumes tenseless reality. In particular, I argue for the superiority of an approach according to which the differences between the future, present and past are quantitative on the level of basic building blocks over a more intuitive view on which the differences are, as on the surface level, qualitative. I demonstrate that a qualitative construal is reducible to a quantitative one and that as such the latter fares better with the B-theoretic, tenseless outlook on reality.

It is currently acknowledged that events constitute an integral part of the metaphysics and semantic machinery for interpreting natural language utterances (Davidson 1967, 1980). Most research into event semantics since Davidson and Parsons (Parsons 1990) has focused on questions relating to either aspectual classifications (Akstionsarten) or temporal semantics. One area that has received far less attention is the issue of event localization, that is, the problem of spatially situating events. In this paper, I discuss the procedures for identifying where events, as expressed in natural language, are located in space. Aspects of the semantics of event localization have been recently proposed, including the notion of the “shape” of a movement (Eschenbach et al. 1999; Zwarts 2006), as well as treating movement verbs as “path creation” predicates (Pustejovsky and Moszkowicz 2011). In this paper, I build on these and some additional observations to outline a more general semantics of event localization. I then outline a procedure that extends the path metaphor used for motion predicates, distinguishing between the event locus and the spatial aspect of an event. In the process, I discuss how localization is supervenient upon the participants in the events, but not as straightforwardly as one might expect.

People use space to structure their thoughts about time (e.g. Núñez & Cooperrider 2013). In this chapter, we first provide a brief overview of the various ways that we use space to talk, gesture, and reason about deictic and sequence time. We then discuss the strengths and limitations of the different methodologies used to study space-time associations. We argue that some methods are especially useful for documenting the existence of spatial construals of time, while others are more useful for examining their flexibility. We illustrate this point by describing circumstances under which temporal reasoning diverges from patterns in both language and gesture.

Do people think about time the way they talk about it? This chapter examines dissociations between temporal language and temporal thinking in speakers of English and of Darija, a dialect of Moroccan Arabic. In both languages, conventional metaphors suggest that the future is ahead of the speaker and the past is behind. Yet, English speakers typically conceptualize the future as rightward and the past as leftward – a spatial mapping that is not conventionalized in any known spoken language. Darija speakers typically conceptualize the past as ahead and the future a behind them – a spatial mapping that directly contradicts their verbal metaphors. Darija speakers’ “backward” mapping of time does not appear to arise from any feature of their language, or from their physical experience with the natural world, but rather from their cultural bias to focus on the past (i.e., to value their ancestry and practice ancient traditions). Analyses of verbal space-time metaphors reveal that humans’ temporal thinking depends, in part, on spatial mappings. Yet, essential features of these mappings, including their spatial orientation and direction, may be absent from language and can only be discovered using extra-linguistic methods. Beyond the influences of language and of physical experience, cultural values and non-linguistic cultural practices can play important roles in shaping our mental representations of time. As a result, at any moment people may be thinking about time differently from the way they are talking about it, using different spatial schemas.

The chapter builds on previous research into the concept of time in signed languages (Brennan 1983; Wilcox 2000; Taub 2001; Sutton-Spence and Woll 2010). Relying on the framework of the second generation cognitive linguistics (Lakoff and Johnson 1999), it discusses the key elements of the Western view of time as expressed in American, British, Polish, and other signed languages. Signs based on metaphors, metonymies, and interactions of these two conceptual mechanisms represent the conception of time rooted in classical physics (Newton 1729), the paradigm of life sciences (McGrath and Kelly 1986), and the efficiency-oriented concept of work (Lakoff and Johnson 1980). They reflect time’s linearity and cyclicity, its division into homogenous units, and its use as an economic resource.

There is ample evidence that people use spatial concepts to think and speak about time. Consistent with this notion, recent reaction time experiments have documented that the spatial coordinates of responses influence speeded decisions regarding temporal information. Specifically, classifying temporal linguistic information produces a space-time congruency effect on reaction time when responses with the left and right hand are arranged on the left-right axis. A similar effect can be observed for responses that consist of movements along the back-front axis. These findings are consistent with the view that time runs from left to right or from back to front. In the present article we review these results and assess the linguistic relevance of these two mental timelines for the comprehension of linguistic information at the word and sentence level.

This chapter presents an overview of some recent work in anthropology on how time cognition works and on the human measurement of time. It attempts to demonstrate how language, mind, social process and ecology interact to underpin the ways in which different cultural groups experience, use and understand time. I review how time is constituted as a domain, examining different kinds of unit by which time is divided, and thereafter consider the logics through which the organization of time is integrated. These problems include the juxtaposition of cyclical and linear notions; the intrinsic complementarity of idioms of space and time; whether ‘time as such’ is a cognitive domain and conceptual universal beyond the particularities of local culture experience; whether the architectures of dualism and cognitive economy are integral to our understanding of time; the extent to which memory and narrativity are crucial to human constructions of time; and whether certain aspects of time organization depend entirely on its encoding in language. The chapter concludes by agreeing with Stephen Levinson that the contribution of anthropology to understanding the language cognition of complex domains such as time is through its emphasis on grounded ethnography, an insistence on holistic approaches, on comparison and on the implications of integrating data from the extremes of cultural diversity.

It is widely assumed that there is a natural, prelinguistic conceptual domain of time whose linguistic organization is universally structured via metaphoric mapping from the lexicon and grammar of space and motion. We challenge this assumption on the basis of our research on the Amondawa (Tupi Kawahib) language and culture of Amazonia. Using both observational data and structured field linguistic tasks, we show that linguistic space-time mapping at the constructional level is not a feature of the Amondawa language, and is not employed by Amondawa speakers (when speaking Amondawa). Amondawa does not recruit its extensive inventory of terms and constructions for spatial motion and location to express temporal relations. Amondawa also lacks a numerically based calendric system. To account for these data, and in opposition to a Universal Space-Time Mapping Hypothesis, we propose a Mediated Mapping Hypothesis, which accords causal importance to the numerical and artefact-based construction of time-based (as opposed to event-based) time interval systems.

The paper focuses on the issues within the paradigm of Contemporary Metaphor Theory, concerning significant differences in the ways time is conceptualized in Chinese and English. Although it is still true that time is understood through space via metaphor, the paper provides evidence that time and space in Chinese present a blended form, rather than what is widely assumed to be conceptualization of one dimension in terms of another one. For instance, the Chinese word for the universe, conventionally referred to by the form entailing both space and time in its Chinese morphology, is now blended into one. Furthermore, the paper will argue that time, as a culturally sensitive entity, is more distinctly conceptualized as water in Chinese.

The present article analyzes the conceptual patterns of temporal deixis in Ainu, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Ryukyuan. It demonstrates that Lakoff and Johnson’s notions ‘moving time’ and ‘moving observer’ are more or less applicable to the five East Asian languages but are not necessarily mutually exclusive conceptions. Deictic expressions of time in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can presuppose both moving time and moving observer, while comparable expressions in Ainu and Ryukyuan, only moving time. It is argued that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean have busier “temporal scenery” for expressions of temporal deixis than Ainu and Ryukyuan do.

As a result of language contact, Southeast Asian languages belonging to different language families share features, such as phonemic tone and numeral classifiers. Similarities between Southeast Asian languages in the frequency of explicit temporal marking, and the reference to spatial and temporal relations with markers related to motion verbs might be also the result of language contact. Descriptions of markers of Southeast Asian languages that express temporal relations, differ in the literature due to their polysemy and due to the application of seemingly universal categories to the description of language specific concepts. This paper discusses universal categories and polysemy before presenting and comparing those grammatical markers of Burmese, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese that are associated with the marking of the categories past, anteriority, perfect or perfectivity.

A significant body of cognitive research has identified the way in which temporal horizons are developed in the human mind, as well as the influence they exert on individual and social behavior. This study demonstrates a cognitive schema of temporal horizon that emerges from the frequency of expressions denoting temporal distance in spontaneous linguistic performance of Polish speakers. Linguistic material analyzed in this study includes transcriptions of impromptu conversations conducted in informal personal contexts, which were compiled into a demographically annotated linguistic corpus that amounts to 2.4 million words. The results reveal that the temporal horizon functions predominantly within three distinctive brackets corresponding to one day, one year, and up to 50 year periods. Moreover, the findings indicate that it tends to alter dynamically with age.

This paper looks at the distribution of selected adverbials used to discretise and quantify time in units of minutes, seconds and hours in reference language corpora of Polish and English. We carry out an exploratory analysis of the distributional patterns of such expressions and report three main findings. Firstly, we observe that the discretisation intervals for minutes and seconds diverge from the overall frequency distribution of cardinal numerals in the two corpora. Secondly, a significant level of correlation has been found between frequency distributions of n-seconds and n-minutes time adverbials in Polish and English data. Finally, the distribution of salient intervals for n-hours adverbials differs considerably from the discretisation patterns observed for n-seconds and n-minutes expressions. We relate these findings to general cognitive aspects of quantification and further link them to the iconic clock dial-based time conceptualisation.
