Since pre-Socratic times scholars have speculated about the nature of time, asking questions such as: What is time? Where does it come from? Where does it go? The central proposal of The Structure of Time is that time, at base, constitutes a phenomenologically real experience. Drawing on findings in psychology, neuroscience, and utilising the perspective of cognitive linguistics, this work argues that our experience of time may ultimately derive from perceptual processes, which in turn enable us to perceive events. As such, temporal experience is a pre-requisite for abilities such as event perception and comparison, rather than an abstraction based on such phenomena. The book represents an examination of the nature of temporal cognition, with two foci: (i) an investigation into (pre-conceptual) temporal experience, and (ii) an analysis of temporal structure at the conceptual level (which derives from temporal experience). 410 0$aHuman cognitive processing ;$vv. 12. 606 $aSpace and time in language 606 $aSemantics 606 $aCognition 615 0$aSpace and time in language. 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aCognition. 676 $a401/.43 700 $aEvans$b Vyvyan$0280715 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964619703321 996 $aThe structure of time$94346353 997 $aUNINA
