Nov 16 2011: Maybe somewhat loosely related to your question, but
one interesting aspect of the relationship between language and time is covered in Malcolm Gladwell's book
'Outliers', specifically in the chapter titled 'Rice Paddies and Math Tests'
Another interesting view on time perception is in 'Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything' by James Gleick.
Both books contain references that can take you further.
