Abstract: 
This article is dedicated to continuous and discrete temporal cognition language explication in Anglo-Saxon texts. Peculiarities of dynamic time perception and relatively static / discrete temporality perception are observed. Dynamic time perception includes linear and cyclical time models which can be divided into ego-static and ego-dynamic models. Relatively static / discrete temporality perception includes chronography, chronometry, “eventness” and frequency.

Keywords:  relatively static / discrete temporality perception, dynamic time perception, linear and cyclical time models, chronography, chronometry, “eventness”, frequency
