ON THE REPRESENTATION OF TIME CATEGORY IN LANGUAGE
https://doi.org/10.24833/2410-2423-2019-2-18-41-47
Abstract
The paper deals with problems of time representation in language. The study of time category is based on the cognitive anthropological approach. The aim of this article is to show linguis means of representation of the temporal category. Objective (astronomical) and subjective (perceptible), conceptual and linguistic (subdivided on real and virtual) representations of time are distinguished. The virtual time is represented in works of fiction, tales, and legends. In these cases we can observe the absence of dynamism, acceleration of time or travel in time. The category of real time is expressed by lexical (definite and indefinite), word-formation and grammatical means. The comparative analysis of derivatives meaning “before/ after” in Russian and French shows that the number of the former considerably (by 4-5 times) surpasses the number of the latter ones. In each of the languages derivative antonyms are revealed. Metaphors of time representation are also analyzed.
