Time, Being and Becoming: Cognitive Models of Innovation and Creation in English

By: Litwin, Maciej

Cognitive linguistics offers tools to discuss philosophical problems of being and becoming (identity) as necessary or contingent. Major positions on these questions can be explained based on human counterfactual thought. Conceptualisations of innovation and creation in English (as instantiations of being and becoming) build on construal of time as actually experienced or figurative.
