Abstract What factors influence the ways in which people resolve ambiguity? In English, two contrasting perspectives are implicit deictic temporal expressions: Moving Time metaphor conceptualizes time as moving forward towards ego and Ego future (Clark 1973). We examine ambiguity arising from these conceptualizations, claimed to be equally likely a “neutral” context (Boroditsky Ramscar 2002). Whereas previous studies have demonstrated that exposure spatial situation related one...
Abstract In English, two deictic space‐time metaphors are in common usage: the Moving Ego metaphor conceptualizes ego as moving forward through time and Time toward (Clark, 1973). Although earlier research investigating psychological reality of these has typically examined spatial influences on temporal reasoning (e.g., Boroditsky & Ramscar, 2002), recent lines have extended beyond this, providing initial evidence that personality differences emotional experiences may also influence how...
Across cultures, people employ space to construct representations of time. English exhibits two deictic space–time metaphors: the "moving ego" metaphor conceptualizes ego as moving forward through time and time" towards ego. Earlier research investigating psychological reality these metaphors has shown that engaging in certain types spatial-motion thinking may influence how reason about events More recently, people's interactions with cultural artifacts also their Extending on mappings new...
Abstract What factors influence our understanding of metaphoric statements about time? By examining the interpretation one such statement – namely, Next Wednesday’s meeting has been moved forward by two days earlier research demonstrated that people may draw on spatial perspectives, involving multiple spatially based temporal reference strategies, to interpret time (e.g. Boroditsky 2000; Kranjec 2006; McGlone and Harding 1998; Núñez et al. 2006). However, what is still missing an role...
ABSTRACT The Moving Ego and Time metaphors have provided a fertile testing ground for the psychological reality of space–time metaphors. Despite this, little research has targeted linguistic patterns used in these two mappings. To fill that gap, current study uses corpus data to examine use motion verbs typologically different languages, English Spanish. We first investigated relative frequency Whereas we observed no difference Spanish data, our findings indicated English, expressions are...
abstract In English, the Moving Ego metaphor conceptualizes ego as moving forward through time and Time construes toward ego. Recent research has provided evidence that people’s metaphorical perspectives on deictic may be influenced by experiences—both spatial non-spatial—that are connected to approach motivations (Moving Ego) avoidance Time). We extend this further, asking whether there differences in preferred temporal perspective between those who exhibit higher lower degrees of power,...
abstract What factors motivate our understanding of metaphoric statements about time? English exhibits two deictic space–time metaphors: the Moving Ego metaphor conceptualizes ego as moving forward through time, while Time time towards (Clark, 1973). In addition to earlier research investigating spatial influences on temporal reasoning (e.g., Boroditsky & Ramscar, 2002), recent lines have provided evidence that a complex factors, such personality differences, event valence, lifestyle,...
English speakers use vertical language to talk about power, such as when speaking of people being "at the bottom social hierarchy" or "rising top." Experimental research has shown that automatically associate higher spatial positions with more powerful groups, doctors and army generals, compared lower positions, which are associated relatively less nurses soldiers. However, power a dimension is also gender. Here, by means reaction-time study corpus study, we show professions display greater...
Time and space have been shown to be interlinked in people's minds.To what extent can co-speech gestures influence thinking about time, over above spoken language?In this study, we use the ambiguous question "Next Wednesday's meeting has moved forward two days, day is it on now?" show that people either respond "Monday" or "Friday," depending gesture.We manipulated both language (using adverb "forward", "backward") gesture (forward backward movement), thus creating matches mismatches between...

Abstract This paper investigates the relation between conditionals and modals in Polish. In particular, it looks into whether modalized indirect reports of – specifically, which involve use root modality verbs reflect number alternative antecedents foregrounded context reported conditional utterance. It finds that possibility modal mogę is preferred when many are (i.e. p interpreted as a sufficient but not necessary condition for q ), whereas necessity muszę contexts where there no ). The...
