Chinese Dates and Addresses

In this video, we show how the organization of time and space in Chinese differs from that of English: whereas Western languages typically zoom out from within, East Asian languages prefer to zoom in from without. This principle applies to the format of calendar dates, the order of centuries and decades, and the description of time-of-day, as well as to the order of elements in a postal address and the organization of city streets in general. We explain also how envelope conventions differ across the Chinese-speaking world.
