Represented in language and thought across cultural borders, abstract time is among the most fundamental and universal concepts in human cognition. With consideration for its linguistic, philosophical, and cognitive features, this article investigates the language reflection of time and theoretical foundations. Examining both extralinguistic and interlinguistic conceptions of time helps the study underline the link between language and temporal cognition. Drawing on a range of theoretical viewpoints, the research charts the evolution of time perception from ancient times to modern linguistic concepts. The findings deepen our understanding of how language constructs, conceptualizes, and expresses time.
