Steven Pinker Quotes

In The TIME ORIENTATION Metaphor, An Observer Is Located At The Present, With The Past Behind Him And The Future In Front, As In That's All Behind Us, We're Looking Ahead, And She Has A Great Future In Front Of Her. Then A Metaphorical Motion Can Be Added To The Scene In One Of Two Ways. In The MOVING TIME Metaphor, Time Is A Parade That Sweeps Past A Stationary Observer: The Time Will Come When Typewriters Are Obsolete; The Time For Action Has Arrived; The Deadline Is Approaching; The Summer Is Flying By. But We Also Find A MOVING OBSERVER Metaphor, In Which The Landscape Of Time Is Stationary And The Observer Proceeds Through It: There's Trouble Down The Road; We're Coming Up On Christmas; She Left At Nine O' Clock; We Passed The Deadline; We're Halfway Through The Semester.
