CURRENT YEAR VS.CURRENT ACCOUNT: THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT OF THE LANGUAGE IMAGE

Abstract

The article depictures some of the key expressions, which characterise the motion of the calendar year in terms of past, present, and future from the typological stand point. It uses data from some Slavic, Germanic, Romance and Hungarian language sources, and shows that the semantic images in this case serve as universals. However, the speculation is that the appearance of expressions like “potočnij rіk” (Ukrainian), and “tekuŝij god” (Russian), could be stimulated by the influence of the German language.
