Abstract:

The last two decades have seen a series of publications focused on
time. So, why another book? It now appears that a kairos moment has
arrived to reconsider from a more holistic point of view the manifold
ways in which we think about time and talk about it. The book is
divided into four major parts: Fundamental issues; Conceptualization
of temporality across languages and cultures; Metaphor, metonymy, and
time conceptualization; and Time and grammar. Following the two
chapters that prefigure the main topics of the volume, we move from
chapters dealing with the cultural embeddedness of our
conceptualizations of time to those discussing the instrumental role
of figurativity in the conceptualization of time, finishing with a
series of chapters focusing on a range of phenomena revolving around
the grammatical reflexes of temporality.
