Abstract
The article considers the category of tense as a universal phenomenon from the point of view of linguistics. The tense category belongs to the number of universal concepts that play a crucial role in modern science, in all its disciplinary complexes: both natural, social and humanitarian. Not a single sphere of human activity is complete without contact with the reality of time. Everything that moves, changes, lives, acts, and thinks is spread through time in one form or another. But despite the obviousness of time as an objective phenomenon has given to us in sensations, which is undoubtedly confirmed by our individual experience, the conceptual understanding of time both in the history of philosophy and science gives rise to many different, sometimes opposite approaches and results. Analysis of the tense category is one of the most actively developed topics in Russian and foreign science. The problem of time interpretation has attracted researchers for its inexhaustibility and versatility. It will never lose its relevance since the concept of time, along with the concepts of space and motion, is one of the essential categories of the knowledge theory. The interpretation of time is inextricably linked with the most fundamental ideas of a person about reality — with the interpretation of being, the meaning of life, all human activity — both cognitive and practical.
Highlights
The tense category is universal and multifaceted
Time is understood as an anthropocentric, subjective category since a person perceives the world through the prism of his sensations
The idea that time is related to the speaker's view of the world first appeared in the linguistic relativity theory by B
Summary
The tense category is universal and multifaceted. The time problem began to be dealt with first in natural science, physics, philosophy, and in other sciences: culturology, psychology, linguistics, entolinguistics, etc. Perceptual time reflects the perception of the external world by an individual, "our sense of the present, past and future is connected with perceptual time" [6, p. This category is associated with the concept of a world linguistic picture (WLP), which is traditionally interpreted as "a pattern of perception of reality, fixed in the language, specific for a given linguistic community" [4, p.
