Abstract:

This volume comprises a collection of contrastive studies on language and
time. Languages represented include Czech, French, German, Mandarin, Norwegian
and Swedish, all of which are contrasted with English. While the amount of
published research on temporal relations in general is considerable, less work
has been carried out on comparing how we talk about time in various languages
and how languages change over time. Several methodological challenges are
addressed and solutions proposed, such as how to deal with poor quality
historical data and how to identify n-grams in typologically different
languages for purposes of comparison. The results of the various studies show
how multilingual corpora can increase our knowledge of language-specific
features as well as linguistic, typological and cultural differences and
similarities across languages.
