Abstract

En este artículo presentamos algunas observaciones destinadas a describir la representación que la mente se hace del tiempo desde la perspectiva que ofrece el lenguaje. A diferencia de la abundante bibliografía dedicada al estudio de los tiempos verbales y la sintaxis de la temporalidad, nuestro estudio parte del léxico, en particular del léxico del español. El examen de los datos nos condujo a proponer una concepción particular de unidad temporal, así como a una clasificación de estas expresiones y a una percepción de los enlaces que las asocian, formando así redes semánticas. Estos hallazgos serán recogidos y exhibidos en el Diccionario de unidades temporales del español, obra en construcción cuyas características se exponen aquí. In this article we present some remarks with the aim to describe how time is represented in the mind from the viewpoint of language. While there is a plethora of bibliography on the study of verb tenses and the syntax of time, our research stems from the study of the lexicon, particularly in the Spanish lexicon. The analysis of our data led us to propose a particular way of understanding the concept of temporal unit, as well as a classification of these expressions and an understanding of the connections between them, thus constructing semantic networks. These findings will be collected and exhibited in the Diccionario de unidades temporales del español, a work in progress whose characteristics will be presented here.
