Abstract:

Although major cognitively based studies of SPACE and TIME in language
have appeared in terms of “Frames of Reference”, these do not extend
to a wide selection of the world’s languages, nor do they combine
SPACE and TIME in the overarching concept of WORLD, which has its own
corresponding frames of reference. The aim of relating and unifying
these concepts and their expression across languages constitutes the
unique thrust of the present book, which will represent a significant
extension of earlier approaches. Among its main conclusions will be
that the complete separation of terms for SPACE and TIME is a
relatively recent cultural phenomenon, rather than just a metaphorical
extension of the latter from the former. The book will be of interest
to all students and practitioners of Linguistics, in particular
Cognitive Linguistics and Linguistic typology, but also to a more
general readership interested in the historical evolution of concepts
of SPACE and TIME.
