Abstract
This paper presents a cognitive study of the lexical means of conceptualization of time in English and Armenian
fairy tales, and outlines the ways in which such conceptualizations are expressed in both languages. A spatial model for the
conceptualization of time is introduced, which helps reveal the complexities of lexical expressions of time in these fairy tale
texts. The model is depicted by geometric delineations and comprises the schemas which best conform to the folkloristic genre; the
depictions consist of a set comprising: point, interval, line, cycle, circle, and segment of a circle. A comparative analysis
between the languages reveals that each of these schemas is represented in both languages but to differing extents. Lexically, the
schemas are primarily expressed in English by noun phrases paired with prepositions, and in Armenian by prepositions or
postpositions or their morphological synonyms. Other means of schema expression in both languages include, with slight
differences, number markers, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, and deictics.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the International Journal of Language and Culture (IJoLC) is to disseminate cutting-edge research that explores the interrelationship between language and culture. The journal is multidisciplinary in scope and seeks to provide a forum for researchers interested in the interaction between language and culture across several disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, applied linguistics, psychology and cognitive science. The journal publishes high-quality, original and state-of-the-art articles that may be theoretical or empirical in orientation and that advance our understanding of the intricate relationship between language and culture. IJoLC is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year. Topics of interest to IJoLC include, but are not limited to the following: a. Culture and the structure of language, b. Language, culture, and conceptualisation, c. Language, culture, and politeness, d. Language, culture, and emotion, e. Culture and language development, f. Language, culture, and communication.
