Annotation
This article is devoted to the study of linguistic ways of expressing time and space in English. Grammatical and lexical means of expressing spatial and temporary values are considered. Examples to demonstrate how translators can apply various transformations to convey spatial and temporal meanings, taking into account the characteristics of the target audience's language and culture are given.Our theses are: First, in subjective reality, time is three-dimensional, too – same as space; and the latter can work in a similar way as time. Secondly, primordial time is young and not ancient. Thirdly, the locus of subjectivity is elastic and not determined by brains’ boundaries. It diminishes like chagrin skin if there are no events, whereas time without events disappears at all – and vice versa. Events are the dimensions of subjective time/space continuum. Relativity of subjective time/space continuum was the starting point for discovering this relativity in objective matter, alongside with the mathematical account or ahead of it. Postmodernists’ account of events important for subjective time is of interest.
