Jaszczolt 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/534263836 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s2 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s2 Section header 5 01 04 Spatial construal of time extended Spatial construal of time extended 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.02pus 06 10.1075/hcp.52.02pus 27 42 16 Article 6 01 04 Situating Events in Language Situating Events in Language 1 A01 01 JB code 786263837 James Pustejovsky Pustejovsky, James James Pustejovsky 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/786263837 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.03wal 06 10.1075/hcp.52.03wal 43 66 24 Article 7 01 04 Speaking, Gesturing, Reasoning Speaking, Gesturing, Reasoning 01 04 Methods and Issues in the Study of Spatial Construals of Time Methods and Issues in the Study of Spatial Construals of Time 1 A01 01 JB code 373263838 Esther J.

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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.04cas 06 10.1075/hcp.52.04cas 67 84 18 Article 8 01 04 Temporal Language and Temporal Thinking May Not Go Hand in Hand Temporal Language and Temporal Thinking May Not Go Hand in Hand 1 A01 01 JB code 815263840 Daniel Casasanto Casasanto, Daniel Daniel Casasanto 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/815263840 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.05kos 06 10.1075/hcp.52.05kos 85 102 18 Article 9 01 04 Western Conception of Time in Signed Languages: a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective Western Conception of Time in Signed Languages: a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective 1 A01 01 JB code 313263841 Krzysztof Kosecki Kosecki, Krzysztof Krzysztof Kosecki 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/313263841 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.06eik 06 10.1075/hcp.52.06eik 103 122 20 Article 10 01 04 The Mental Timeline During the Processing of Linguistic Information The Mental Timeline During the Processing of Linguistic Information 1 A01 01 JB code 683263842 Verena Eikmeier Eikmeier, Verena Verena Eikmeier 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/683263842 2 A01 01 JB code 925263843 Simone Alex-Ruf Alex-Ruf, Simone Simone Alex-Ruf 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/925263843 3 A01 01 JB code 250263844 Claudia Maienborn Maienborn, Claudia Claudia Maienborn 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/250263844 4 A01 01 JB code 297263845 Hannes Schröter Schröter, Hannes Hannes Schröter 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/297263845 5 A01 01 JB code 638263846 Rolf Ulrich Ulrich, Rolf Rolf Ulrich 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/638263846 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s3 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s3 Section header 11 01 04 Time conceptualizations beyond space Time conceptualizations beyond space 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.07ell 06 10.1075/hcp.52.07ell 125 150 26 Article 12 01 04 The cultural cognition of time The cultural cognition of time 01 04 Some anthropological perspectives Some anthropological perspectives 1 A01 01 JB code 941263847 Roy Ellen Ellen, Roy Roy Ellen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/941263847 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.08sin 06 10.1075/hcp.52.08sin 151 186 36 Article 13 01 04 When time is not space When time is not space 01 04 The social and linguistic construction of time intervals and temporal event relations in an Amazonian culture The social and linguistic construction of time intervals and temporal event relations in an Amazonian culture 1 A01 01 JB code 373263848 Chris Sinha Sinha, Chris Chris Sinha Hunan University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/373263848 2 A01 01 JB code 594263849 Vera Silva Sinha Silva Sinha, Vera Vera Silva Sinha University of East Anglia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/594263849 3 A01 01 JB code 244263850 Jörg Zinken Zinken, Jörg Jörg Zinken Institut für Deutsche Sprache 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/244263850 4 A01 01 JB code 453263851 Wany Sampaio Sampaio, Wany Wany Sampaio Federal University of Rondônia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/453263851 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.09su 06 10.1075/hcp.52.09su 187 204 18 Article 14 01 04 Metaphor and thought Metaphor and thought 01 04 Conceptualization of time in Chinese Conceptualization of time in Chinese 1 A01 01 JB code 879263852 Lily I-Wen Su I-Wen Su, Lily Lily I-Wen Su 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/879263852 01 eng 30 00 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.

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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s5 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s5 Section header 18 01 04 Distributional sources of time conceptualization Distributional sources of time conceptualization 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.12wal 06 10.1075/hcp.52.12wal 273 294 22 Article 19 01 04 Reflection of temporal horizon in linguistic performance Reflection of temporal horizon in linguistic performance 1 A01 01 JB code 516263856 Jacek Tadeusz Waliński Waliński, Jacek Tadeusz Jacek Tadeusz Waliński 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/516263856 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.13pez 06 10.1075/hcp.52.13pez 295 316 22 Article 20 01 04 Time-discretising adverbials Time-discretising adverbials 01 04 Distributional evidence of conceptualisation patterns Distributional evidence of conceptualisation patterns 1 A01 01 JB code 114263857 Piotr Pęzik Pęzik, Piotr Piotr Pęzik 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/114263857 2 A01 01 JB code 613266068 Mikołaj Deckert Deckert, Mikołaj Mikołaj Deckert 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/613266068 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.14aind 06 10.1075/hcp.52.14aind 317 322 6 Miscellaneous 21 01 04 Author index Author index 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.15sind 06 10.1075/hcp.52.15sind 323 325 3 Miscellaneous 22 01 04 Subject index Subject index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/hcp.52 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160614 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027246684 WORLD 09 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 https://jbe-platform.com 29 https://jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027267597 21 01 00 Unqualified price 02 95.00 EUR 01 00 Unqualified price 02 80.00 GBP GB 01 00 Unqualified price 02 143.00 USD

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 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s2 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s2 Section header 5 01 04 Spatial construal of time extended Spatial construal of time extended 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.02pus 06 10.1075/hcp.52.02pus 27 42 16 Article 6 01 04 Situating Events in Language Situating Events in Language 1 A01 01 JB code 786263837 James Pustejovsky Pustejovsky, James James Pustejovsky 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/786263837 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.03wal 06 10.1075/hcp.52.03wal 43 66 24 Article 7 01 04 Speaking, Gesturing, Reasoning Speaking, Gesturing, Reasoning 01 04 Methods and Issues in the Study of Spatial Construals of Time Methods and Issues in the Study of Spatial Construals of Time 1 A01 01 JB code 373263838 Esther J.

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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.04cas 06 10.1075/hcp.52.04cas 67 84 18 Article 8 01 04 Temporal Language and Temporal Thinking May Not Go Hand in Hand Temporal Language and Temporal Thinking May Not Go Hand in Hand 1 A01 01 JB code 815263840 Daniel Casasanto Casasanto, Daniel Daniel Casasanto 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/815263840 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.05kos 06 10.1075/hcp.52.05kos 85 102 18 Article 9 01 04 Western Conception of Time in Signed Languages: a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective Western Conception of Time in Signed Languages: a Cognitive Linguistic Perspective 1 A01 01 JB code 313263841 Krzysztof Kosecki Kosecki, Krzysztof Krzysztof Kosecki 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/313263841 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.06eik 06 10.1075/hcp.52.06eik 103 122 20 Article 10 01 04 The Mental Timeline During the Processing of Linguistic Information The Mental Timeline During the Processing of Linguistic Information 1 A01 01 JB code 683263842 Verena Eikmeier Eikmeier, Verena Verena Eikmeier 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/683263842 2 A01 01 JB code 925263843 Simone Alex-Ruf Alex-Ruf, Simone Simone Alex-Ruf 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/925263843 3 A01 01 JB code 250263844 Claudia Maienborn Maienborn, Claudia Claudia Maienborn 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/250263844 4 A01 01 JB code 297263845 Hannes Schröter Schröter, Hannes Hannes Schröter 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/297263845 5 A01 01 JB code 638263846 Rolf Ulrich Ulrich, Rolf Rolf Ulrich 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/638263846 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s3 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s3 Section header 11 01 04 Time conceptualizations beyond space Time conceptualizations beyond space 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.07ell 06 10.1075/hcp.52.07ell 125 150 26 Article 12 01 04 The cultural cognition of time The cultural cognition of time 01 04 Some anthropological perspectives Some anthropological perspectives 1 A01 01 JB code 941263847 Roy Ellen Ellen, Roy Roy Ellen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/941263847 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.08sin 06 10.1075/hcp.52.08sin 151 186 36 Article 13 01 04 When time is not space When time is not space 01 04 The social and linguistic construction of time intervals and temporal event relations in an Amazonian culture The social and linguistic construction of time intervals and temporal event relations in an Amazonian culture 1 A01 01 JB code 373263848 Chris Sinha Sinha, Chris Chris Sinha Hunan University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/373263848 2 A01 01 JB code 594263849 Vera Silva Sinha Silva Sinha, Vera Vera Silva Sinha University of East Anglia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/594263849 3 A01 01 JB code 244263850 Jörg Zinken Zinken, Jörg Jörg Zinken Institut für Deutsche Sprache 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/244263850 4 A01 01 JB code 453263851 Wany Sampaio Sampaio, Wany Wany Sampaio Federal University of Rondônia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/453263851 01 eng 30 00 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).

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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.s5 06 10.1075/hcp.52.s5 Section header 18 01 04 Distributional sources of time conceptualization Distributional sources of time conceptualization 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.12wal 06 10.1075/hcp.52.12wal 273 294 22 Article 19 01 04 Reflection of temporal horizon in linguistic performance Reflection of temporal horizon in linguistic performance 1 A01 01 JB code 516263856 Jacek Tadeusz Waliński Waliński, Jacek Tadeusz Jacek Tadeusz Waliński 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/516263856 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.13pez 06 10.1075/hcp.52.13pez 295 316 22 Article 20 01 04 Time-discretising adverbials Time-discretising adverbials 01 04 Distributional evidence of conceptualisation patterns Distributional evidence of conceptualisation patterns 1 A01 01 JB code 114263857 Piotr Pęzik Pęzik, Piotr Piotr Pęzik 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/114263857 2 A01 01 JB code 613266068 Mikołaj Deckert Deckert, Mikołaj Mikołaj Deckert 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/613266068 01 eng 30 00 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. 01 01 JB code hcp.52.14aind 06 10.1075/hcp.52.14aind 317 322 6 Miscellaneous 21 01 04 Author index Author index 01 eng 01 01 JB code hcp.52.15sind 06 10.1075/hcp.52.15sind 323 325 3 Miscellaneous 22 01 04 Subject index Subject index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/hcp.52 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160614 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 12 20 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 95.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 80.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 12 20 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 143.00 USD
