Time is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and action. All
languages have developed rich means to express various facets of
time, such as bare time spans, their position on the time line, or
their duration. This volume explores what we know about the neural
and cognitive representations of time that speakers can draw on in
language.
* Considers the role time plays as an essential element of human
cognition and action, providing important insights to inform and
extend current studies of time in language and in language
acquisition
* Examines the main devices used to encode time in natural
language, such as lexical elements, tense, and aspect, and draws on
the latest psychological and neurobiological findings
* Addresses a range of issues, including: the relationship
between temporal language, culture, and thought; the relationship
between verb aspect and mental simulations of events; the
development of temporal concepts; time perception; the storage and
retrieval of temporal information in autobiographical memory; and
neural correlates of tense processing and sequence planning

लेखक के बारे में
Peter Indefrey is Principal Investigator at the F.C. Donders
Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging in Nijmegen and a Research
Associate at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. He has
a M.D. and a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the Heinrich Heine
University Düsseldorf. His research is on first and second
language processing and its neural correlates with a particular
focus on syntactic and morphological processing, word production,
reading, and the development of language processing in L2 learners.
Marianne Gullberg is a staff member at Radboud
University Nijmegen and Research Associate at the Max Planck
Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. She holds a Ph.D. in
Linguistics from Lund University, Sweden. Her research focuses on
the earliest stages of adult second language acquisition and on the
advanced or bilingual stage, lexical semantics, cross-linguistic
(bi-directional) influences, code-switching, and the production and
comprehension of gestures.
