Language and the Construction of Time through Space

Trends in Neurosciences, 2018
Speakers of different languages think about time differently in accordance with the spatial metaphors common in their languages. Furthermore, learning new spatial metaphors in language instills new non-linguistic representations of time, suggesting that language can play a causal role in constructing mental timelines.

Comparative Evaluation of String Similarity Measures for Automatic Language Classification

Sequences in Language and Text, 2015
Historical linguistics, the oldest branch of modern linguistics, deals with language-relatedness and language change across space and time. Historical linguists apply the widely-tested comparative method [Durie and Ross, 1996] to establish relationships ...

Reference frames of space and time in language

Journal of Pragmatics, 2011
To what extent do conceptual schemas underlying temporal language correspond to those of spatial language? This paper addresses this question by providing an overview of reference frames for space as well as time, building on and systematically extending earlier accounts.

Space, Time, and Language

1984
Physical science in the Twentieth Century has raised two questions of the most profound importance regarding the scientific role of the concepts of space and time. First: Do we, in a physical theory, have to deal with space and time in the terms in which they have almost universally been dealt with or at least implicitly thought of?

Algorithmically Broad Languages for Polynomial Time and Space

2021
Flexible programming languages with built-in bounds on time or space resources are of obvious practical interest. Since we know that no programming language can capture exactly the PTime (or PSpace) algorithms, the challenge is to design languages that guarantee PTime while accommodating a broad spectrum of algorithmic methods.

Conclusion: A Language across Space, Time, and Ethnicity

Ethnohistory, 2012
This special issue shows that Nahuatl was not a standard lingua franca spread across Mexico, but was used flexibly and spontaneously by people of many kinds for many different purposes, varying greatly according to the location, the ethnicity, and the social status of speakers and writers, as well as the passage of time.

A homomorphic characterization of time and space complexity classes of languages†

International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 1980
Recently, it has been shown that for each recursively enumerable language there exists an erasing homomorphism h 0 and homomorphisms h 1,h 2 such that L= h 0(e(h 1,h 2)) where (e(h 1,h 2)) is the set of minimal words on which h 1 and h 2 agree. Here we show that by restrictions on the erasing h 0 we obtain most time-complexity language classes, and by ...
