"Time is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and action. All languages have rich means to express various facets of time, such as bare time spans, their position on the time line, or their duration. The papers in this volume give an overview of what we know about the neural and cognitive representations of time that speakers can draw on in language. Starting with an overview of the main devices used to encode time in natural language (e.g., lexical elements, tense and aspect), the research presented in this volume addresses 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. The psychological and neurobiological findings presented here could inform and extend current studies of time in language and in language acquisition."--BOOK JACKET.
