Abstract:

Across languages, time tends to be understood in terms of space. For
instance, we might think of time as an unstoppable train heading
towards us when we hear 'holidays are coming', or we might imagine
time as a landscape that we move across as we 'approach the moment of
truth'. In this pioneering book, Duffy and Feist bring together
research from across disciplines to provide a more nuanced
understanding of what metaphor is and how it underpins our
conceptualizations of time. Illustrated with a wide range of authentic
examples from natural language, the book offers a holistic
understanding of metaphors for time, encompassing the varied ways in
which people draw on spatial experiences, as well as the broader
variety of 'human experience' on an individual level. In doing so, it
highlights the importance of variation across cultures, across
contexts, and across individuals for metaphoric conceptualization.
