Abstract:

How does the concept of time, elusive and inconceivable as it may be, lend
itself to verbal creativity? Is it possible to trace something like a “poetics
of time”? This book embarks on this endeavor initiated by the assumption that
verbal creativity can shed some new light on our understanding of time,
challenging everyday linguistic patterns and manipulating mental
representations in unforeseen ways. Drawing on empirical evidence from Modern
Greek poetry, the book offers a unified account of time conceptualization
along a continuum of various degrees of non-conventionality. It also shows,
unlike what has been traditionally assumed in the literature, that creativity
in the expression of time is not limited to metaphor but extends to other
figurative tropes that are perhaps specific to poetry. Poetry thus transpires
as an ideal testing frame for exploring temporal cognition and meaning
construction alike.
