Cognitive Analysis of Conceptual Metaphors of Movement in the Holy Qur'an

The Holy Qur'an includes the emergence of vast metaphors that have the aesthetic aspect in defining the traditional metaphor. But today metaphor as one of the cognitive patterns of language can be a factor in interdisciplinary discussions and has a significant role in explaining the worldview of the Quran. The Qur'an expresses man's life as a movement to God in the form of metaphor. Accordingly, in order to understand the relationship between the concepts of movement in the form of metaphor and the concept of life, conceptual metaphors with the field of motion in the Holy Qur'an were examined and analyzed by a cognitive approach and it was found that the movement verbs such as Jaye, Eti, Magnus, Arsal, Anzal , Hoody and Dolel, have played a role as the domains of origin in metaphorical understanding of target areas such as revelation, prophecy, happiness, misleading, resurrection, torment, death, change, acceptance, deed, etc. It was also found that the application of each of the verbs for the concepts of the destination domain, in addition to the transfer of the motion attribute, also explains the nature of the movement in each of the destination domains. Finally, the conceptual metaphors of the extracted movement in this paper are covered by the fundamental metaphor and the aspects of the concept of life from the point of view of the Holy Qur'an serve to fulfill the divine goal.
