“…The present study provided evidence supporting the Metaphorical Structuring View (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980a) in many aspects. According to this view (McGlone & Harding, 1998;Gentner, Imai, & Boroditsky, 2002), people use spatial representations to describe temporal representations.…”

“…2) In the processing of temporal concepts, do Chinese speakers also use vertical spatial-temporal metaphor? Based on many previous studies (Boroditsky, 2000(Boroditsky, , 2001Boroditsky, 2011;Boroditsky et al, 2011;Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008;Fuhrman & Boroditsky, 2010;Gentner et al, 2002;Lakoff & Johnson, 1980a, 1980bMerritt et al, 2010;Scott, 1989), we assumed that Chinese speakers use the vertical spatial-temporal metaphor. 3) If Chinese speakers both have vertical and horizontal metaphors, which one will be the dominant dimension?…”

People rely on spatial-temporal metaphor when they talk and think about abstract temporal concept. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the mechanism of the multi-dimensional spatial-temporal conceptual metaphor in Chinese. Using the spatial cuing paradigm, we examined the cognitive impact of the Chinese vertical and horizontal spatial-temporal metaphor, and explored the dominant dimension between the two metaphors in context. The results showed that the processing of temporal concepts for Chinese speakers involved not only the horizontal spatial-temporal metaphor, but also the vertical spatial-temporal metaphor. The horizontal dimension was the dominant dimension of spatial-temporal metaphor in the processing of temporal concepts in Chinese. The findings demonstrated that representation of time depends on representation of space, supporting the Metaphorical Structuring View.

“…In this framework, known as 'embodied' or 'grounded' cognition, 1 conceptual thought and retrieval of meaning involves the complete or partial reactivation, in a simulative manner, of neural sensorimotor activation experienced during initial concept acquisition (Allport, 1985;Barsalou, 1999Barsalou, , 2008Barsalou, , 2010Gallese & Lakoff, 2005;Lakoff, 1987;Lakoff & Johnson, 1980;Langacker, 1987;Pulvermü ller, 1999).…”

“…inevitably grounded in sensorimotor experiences in physical space . This fact is also expressed in the ubiquitous correlation between quantity and verticality that inspired universal linguistic expressions (e.g., ''more is up'' or ''high price''; Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). However, the exact role of such internally driven eye movements remains speculative at present.…”
