Abstract: (2164 Views)
This article has been written with the aim of how Rumi expresses in the face of Quranic verses and narrations and the quality of using rhetorical tricks in explaining mental concepts and mystical terms. The authors first read Rumi's Masnavi by examining verses from six books in a random manner and analyzed interpretive metaphors based on the theory of cognitive semantics,after stating the theory of semantic semantics and conceptual metaphor according to this theory, among the forms of conceptual metaphor, ontological metaphor was examined and the evidences of interpretive metaphors have been analyzed in three branches of metaphor by interpreting Quranic verses and hadiths, by interpreting mystical allegories and terms, and finally metaphor by interpreting Masnavi anecdotes. In this study, library method and content analysis were the most effective in interpreting mystical terms and allegories. This indicates that Rumi has described his mystical concepts and mystical experiences after their interpretation in order to objectify them,in the name of objective writings to convince the audience and express mystical emotions. In this process, in some interpretations, he has sometimes described one mental thing with another mental thing or an objective phenomenon with another objective thing.
Keywords: Interpretive Metaphors, Cognitive Semantics, Conceptual Metaphor, Ontological Metaphor, Rumi's Masnavi
