Abstract

One of the important theories in the branches of semantics is cognitive semantics. In cognitive semantics, it is assumed that cognitive functions are located along our senses. Conceptual schemas are among the conceptual constructions that have been paid attention to in this field. Imaginal schemas are built with a metaphorical underpinning and become a bridge to connect our physical experiences with more complex cognitive domains. Based on this, the experience that man has of his physical existence and the occupation of a part of the space by it becomes a background to make it easy for him to understand abstract concepts, and in this way, any concept that may not have an external existence can also be the container of containers and places. be different The present essay tries to analyze conceptual metaphors with the help of concepts such as directional metaphors, ontological metaphors, and conceptual schemas in Bijan Najdi's poems, using the descriptive-analytical method and after presenting the compliments and theories related to cognitive semantics. The findings of the research show that Najdi used imaginary schemas to visualize abstract concepts and give volume to colors, solids, body parts, different times and places; The high frequency of human-oriented metaphors shows that everything is alive and dynamic in the poet's cognitive world. In Najdi poetry, the use of power-type visual schemas is less compared to volume, movement, and visualization types. More use of power schemes of the second and third type indicates the warrior and invincible spirit of the poet.
