商品簡介
Linguists working alone or in teams explore what language can reveal about the role of objective and subjective time and the multiple temporalities people live in, think, and talk about. They discuss time in philosophy, language, and discourse; the temporal processing of speech; time in grammar and language acquisition; and time and the arts. Among specific topics are time and time experience in language, investigating perceptions of lexical obsolence, distinctive visual and auditory timing cues in language tasks, metaphorical and metonymic representations of time in Polish sign language, the last soliloquy in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, and translations of time from literary work to screen in Stanley Kubrick's films.
