Running Down Clock – Ramscar, Matlock & Dye (200?)
Series of experiments show influence of fictive motion on conceptions of time. Tries to link fictive, figurative and literal word use to joint underlying conception. Use of words in different ways causes the use of same background information and cognitive processes. DOES NOT explain why the words would be used in these ways in the first place. Studies could have used better control conditions and its not clear why co-occurrence frequency was used instead of Mutual Information. Results are striking none the less.
