Abstract: (215 Views)
The theory of conceptual metaphor is based on the experience and perception of one concept in another, and this connection is formed based on correspondences between two sets and forms a conceptual mapping that, according to Lakoff's theory, is the essence of metaphor mapping. In this regard, using the theory of conceptual metaphor, which is a prominent and effective approach in the field of cognitive semantics, we examine Ibn al-Muqaffa's writings in Adab al-Kabir and Adab al-Saghir in the field of intellect. Ibn al-Muqaffa, in order to explain the concept of "intellect" to his audience, leads them from material and observable matters to contemplation of intangible matters. This process leads to the induction of mental and abstract meanings that have a single and identical theme and the element of rationality. The present research analyzes the conceptual metaphors of "intellect" in Ibn al-Muqaffa's Adab al-Kabir and Adab al-Saghir within a descriptive-analytical framework. The results show that from Ibn al-Muqaffa's perspective, in metaphorical mappings of the field of intellect, positive meanings have a wide frequency and in most cases, the course of this movement has been transferred from mind to mind. Also, Ibn al-Muqaffa's intellectual themes have appeared in a structural form.
