save/spend/waste/worth one's time: metaphorical possession. Gestalt? or abstract Possessor?
- can time be transferred? borrow/lend/give time
- time is so often conceptualized like a possession that we should go with Possessor

nschneid commented 4 years ago

enjoy one's (own) time = enjoy SPENDING one's time, thus Possessor??? Or is this more like agreement with the subject? `$?
- I enjoyed your time here (your visit)
- cf. How was your day?
- fits "time period of life" rule, like "my time in grad school": Theme~>Gestalt
take one's time: idiom, `$
one's time_of_need: Theme~>Gestalt (cf. "my time in grad school" in guidelines)

I(Possessor~>Agent? Originator~>Agent? just Agent?) spent [my(Theme~>Gestalt) time in grad school] learning to knit.

nschneid commented 4 years ago

For spending time, maybe we should distinguish 'occupy time' sense and 'consciously choose one activity over others' sense.

nschneid commented 4 years ago

Metaphor of time as a resource is complicated. Having time refers to control over some future time period and not having obligations in that time. Spending time refers to doing something intentionally in a period of available time, especially when time is "limited" and therefore the agent has to carefully decide how to allocate it. No actual transfer in the target domain. Giving time refers to willingness to devote time to someone else, i.e. to accept a request to interact with somebody during a period of time.

Item:

Spend: Give up possession-> Originator
Give: Give up possession -> Originator
Use: Use possession -> Agent
Have: Possess -> Possessor
Receive: Gain possession -> Recipient

Money:

Spend: Give up possession/resource -> Originator
Give: Give up possession/resource -> Originator
Use: Use/Give up possession/resource -> Agent?
Have: Possess resource -> Possessor
Receive: Gain possession/resource -> Recipient

Time:

Spend: use resource -> Possessor~Agent
Give: use resource -> Possessor~Agent
Use: use resource -> Agent?
Have: possess resource -> Possessor
Receive: benefit from someone else using the resource -> Beneficiary? Theme?

Cf. Metaphors We Live By pp. 7–9 (TIME IS MONEY metaphor).

USE THIS TO SUMMARIZE THE DECISIONS:

X saves/spends/wastes time / (some)one's time
- This is often redundant with another argument: X = one (I wasted my time), but not always (they wasted my time).
- X = Possessor~>Agent
- (some)one = Possessor
X uses (some)one's time
- X = Agent
- (some)one = Possessor
worth (some)one's time
- (some)one = Possessor
enjoy one's (own) time = enjoy SPENDING one's time, thus Possessor??? Or is this more like agreement with the subject? `$?
- I enjoyed your time here (your visit)
- cf. How was your day?
- fits "time period of life" rule, like "my time in grad school": Theme~>Gestalt
to enjoy one's time somewhere/doing something
take one's time (go at a comfortable pace): idiom, `$
to take one's time (with somebody/an activity): `$?

- Dr. Wallen explained the procedure in detail and took >> his << time with me .
