摘要
The paper focuses on historical dynamics of conceptual metaphors of time in the English language. Drawing on lexicographical and textual data from Old-, Middle-, and Modern English, we observe how gradual changes in value systems, from the Christian theocentric outlook of the Middle Ages to the modern secular egocentric worldview, trigger cognitive shifts in the source domain of metaphoric mapping.
