{"pk":27087,"title":"Representing time in terms of space: Directions of mental timelines in Norwegian","subtitle":null,"abstract":"People often use spatial vocabulary to describe temporal rela-tions, and this has increasingly motivated attempts to mapspatial frames of reference (FoRs) onto time. How people as-sign FRONT to time and to temporal entities depends on cul-tural conventions, and is crucial for diagnosing which tem-poral FoR a person actually adopts. Here, we report findingsfrom a survey with speakers of Norwegian that aimed at as-sessing the cultural conventions involved in FRONT assign-ment. Data on temporal movements of events, on the temporalorder of events, and on explicit FRONT assignments to events,time units, and “time itself” suggest that participants use dif-ferent principles for describing fixed relations (static time)versus moving events (dynamic time).","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"space; time; space-time mapping; frames of ref-erence; mental timeline."}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8tt0j703","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Andrea","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bender","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Bergen","department":""},{"first_name":"Kristin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sjåfjell","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Bergen","department":""},{"first_name":"Annelie","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rothe-Wulf","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Freiburg","department":""},{"first_name":"Sieghard","middle_name":"","last_name":"Beller","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Bergen","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27087/galley/16723/download/"}]}
