Abstract: (2868 Views)
The current study aimed to analyse gender factors in the rituals related to 'Mohr Zadan' and 'naming' in Sorani Kurdish of Sanandaj in Iran based on conceptual blending theory. Deep interview method was used to gather data from an adult educated native woman. Based on the collected data, a new non-structured group interview was designed and carried on in a small group of 5 non-educated native speakers aged 60 to 70 to verify the base data. Relying on the conceptual blending theory, the present study analyses all recorded narrations. The results suggest that Kurdish culture uses different conceptual inputs- or more significantly- selects different mappings of the same input to regenerate new conceptual spaces to represent the cultural values of two genders. In other words, in Kurdy, cultural gender values play a significant role in conceptual blending of child naming rituals.
