Considering how fundamental and ubiquitous temporal information is in discourse (e.g., Zwaan & Radvansky, 1998), it seems rather surprising that the impact of the grammaticalization of the future on the way we perceive the future has only been scarcely studied. We argue that this may be due to its rather abstract nature and how it has been previously operationalized. In this review, we lay the foundation for studying the impact of the grammaticalization of the future on mental representations of the future by taking an interdisciplinary perspective, connecting cognitive sciences, linguistics, psycholinguistics, economics, and health psychology. More specifically, we argue that experimental psycholinguistics, combined with more applied domains, constitute a promising research avenue.
考虑到时间信息在话语中是多么基础和普遍存在(例如,兹万和拉德万斯基,1998),未来语法化对我们感知未来方式的影响却几乎未被研究,这似乎相当令人惊讶。我们认为,这可能是由于其相当抽象的性质以及它先前被操作化的方式。在这篇综述中,我们通过采取跨学科视角,将认知科学、语言学、心理语言学、经济学和健康心理学联系起来,为研究未来语法化对未来心理表征的影响奠定基础。更具体地说,我们认为实验心理语言学与更多应用领域相结合,构成了一条有前景的研究途径。
