In this article we will analyze the chrono-psycholinguistics as a new scientific field, which is based on the well-established approach to the interpretation of time as a language category in linguistics. The historical approach to the temporality atomic studies (vocabulary, separate classes of words, syntactic structures) in one or several languages, temporal vocabulary, functional-semantic category of temporality, fiction time will be considered as the necessary basis for the development of chrono-psycholinguistics. It gives us the possibility to describe the psychological time by means of language in the speech of definite culture representatives.

In this article we will view the language representation of time. It will be noted that time relations and concepts of time are defined in the language by morphological, lexical and syntactic means. We will describe the functional-semantic category of temporality based on the context, the definition of the temporal meaning of the sentence structure, on the existence of non-finite verbs and various moods. We characterize temporal vocabulary as reflecting the existence of time in reality, as lexical-semantic groups’ components, as groups of synonyms and antonyms, as denoting new phenomena of reality. We will define the ways of temporal vocabulary enlarging by forming new words or expanding the meaning of existing ones.
