The word order of the possessor and the possessee in both English and Chinese possessive structures can be accounted for in a better way from the perspective of the principle of spatial-temporal sequence and cognitive reference point model.

This article,combining geometry method by light cone and projection between two intertial frame with Lorentz transformations,mainly discusses the time sequence of space-like events among the areas of different time-space under a transformation of frame of reference and objectively expounds the law of causation about special relativity.

Two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of temporal orders and temporal distances on language comprehension.

According to the principle of temporal sequence in Cognitive Linguistics,We think that the order difference between "duo+V" and "V+duo" is determined by the temporal sequence in concept structure,it can not be exchanged in front and behind.

Studies of word order in cognitive-functional linguistics are found to emphasize temporal sequence to the disregard of spatial sequence.

Based on the cognitive theory of iconicity,this paper probes into the order iconicity between the world views of the two languages and their linguistic signs at phrasal level,syntactic level and pragmatic level,with the emphasis on the fact that the different world views between Chinese and English comply with temporal sequence in Chinese and spatial sequence in English.
