Abstract

Human beings are the only species that can perceive the existence of time. However, each culture has its own conceptualization of time, and thus there are different models and attributes for a particular time concept. This paper tries to identify and analyze the Russian and Chinese expressions for the concept of time, so as to establish the linguistic differences in both cultures respectively.
