Study on the Motion and Direction of Time in Russian temporal expressions

This study, first of all, investigates several different approaches to nature of the conceptualization of time as well as three fundamental cognitive models of temporality, based on movement metaphorically. The researcher of this study is exploring the possibility of determination of direction of temporal movement in Russian worldview to reach our ultimate aim. The present problem is solved by analysis of temporal metaphoric expression of modern Russian. Consequently, the problem of defining the direction of temporal movement in Russian is confined to a separate fraction of time that is in a state of movement or located in a space. In the metaphorical model of temporal movement, the future to the past and vice versa, both of the directions of temporal movement are taken into account in reference to Russian worldview. Nonetheless, of the two, the former(from the future to the past) direction of temporal movement can be considered more dominant. The direction of temporal movement depends on movement subjects, i.e. Time, Person(Observer), or Time(Person) to move with person(time). Thus the principle to separate directional models of temporal movement according to movement subjects consists in a mode of the conceptualization of time designed by a language user, who, engaging the world through his thoughts and views, forges a relationship between ego and the world around him, and interprets it on his own cultural background.
