The concept of “time” has been the subject of various research in many different fields of academia including philosophy, psychology and physics to name a few. In the field of Linguistics, the previous discussions mainly focused on the use of “time” as a grammatical device to express tense and aspect. In the field of Cognitive Linguistics, however, the concept of “time” has often been discussed with regard to a cognitive process in which humans try to understand the very abstract concept of time through their concrete and embodied experiences. This study examines the conceptualization of “time” by Thai speakers, as the Thai language has not been thoroughly studied on this topic. Specifically speaking, I analyzed how Thais conceptualize time by applying the conceptual metaphor theory which conceptualizes the abstract target domain of time through the concrete source domain of bodily experience which is more recognizable to humans. After analyzing language data from the Thai National Corpus, I found that there are three primary metaphorical concepts of “time” in Thai. That is: 1) TIME IS A SPACE, 2) TIME IS AN ENTITY and 3) TIME IS A RESOURCE. This research result supports the cognitive linguistics theory which claims that metaphor is a cognitive strategy which is used in our everyday life; that is unlike the traditionalist scholars’ claim which categorizes metaphor as abnormal use of language for rhetoric use. I hope this study will be a valuable example that shows the universal and individual aspects of the conceptualization of “time” among different language groups.
