Abstract:

The Spatial Language of Time presents a crosslinguistically valid
state-of-the-art analysis of space-to-time metaphors, using data mostly from
English and Wolof (Africa) but additionally from Japanese and other languages.
Metaphors are analyzed in terms of their most direct motivation by basic human
experiences (Grady 1997a; Lakoff & Johnson 1980). This motivation explains the
crosslinguistic appearance of certain metaphors, but does not say anything
about temporal metaphor systems that deviate from the types documented here.
Indeed, we observe interesting culture- and language-specific metaphor
phenomena. Refining earlier treatments of temporal metaphor and adapting to
temporal experience Levinson’s (2003) idea of frames of reference, the author
proposes a contrast between perspective-neutral and perspective-specific
frames of reference in temporal metaphor that has important crosslinguistic
ramifications for the temporal semantics of FRONT/BEHIND expressions. This
book refines the cognitive-linguistic approach to temporal metaphor by
analyzing the extensive temporal structure in what has been considered the
source domain of space, and showing how temporal metaphors can be better
understood by downplaying the space-time dichotomy and analyzing metaphor
structure in terms of conceptual frames. This book is of interest to
linguists, psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and others who may
have wondered about relationships between space and time.
