520 |a This paper points out that Modern Hebrew has metaphoric structuring for time in which the past is seen as something "in front of" the speaker, while the future is "behind" the speaker.

Finally, it suggests an analogy with atomic half-lives: the further away, geographically and temporally, a linguistic item is from its source, the smaller the trace of the original item.
