Abstract
This paper explains the definition of the conceptual metaphor in general and applies these facts to the conceptual metaphor “Time is money”. Some sub-categorizations, such as “Time is a valuable commodity” and “Time is a limited resource”, will be explained. The meaning and understanding of the conceptual metaphor is connected to the culture we belong to. The comparison with the German, Hungarian, Croatian and Chinese languages proves that the conceptual metaphor “Time is money” is a cross-linguistically valid conceptual metaphor. Those three languages belong to similar cultures in which time, same as money, can be wasted, spent, invested, saved etc. Not only will the problem of the truthfulness and validation of the metaphor “Time is money” be explored, but also one of the metaphorical counterfactuals – denying the metaphor will be mentioned. Some expressions from science fiction thriller “In Time” show a new aspect of time being like money. The statement “time is money” definitely indicates closeness to the modern society and as such it is explored in context of our everyday life, industrialization and knowledge. Some history is also mentioned in order to realize the closeness of the metaphor with the reality.
