The analysis of conceptual mapping "spring" and its metaphorical clusters in Shams' Ghazals
The Conceptual metaphor in the context of the cognitive linguistics emphasizes the role of experiences in structuring the categories of mind and cognition of concepts. The seasons of the year are the most experimental areas for explaining the mystical worldview. Meanwhile, Mowlana is more interested in spring. This research shows that "spring" in the Mowlana's Ghazals, as a macro meaning-making trait, with all its visual, audible, olfactory, tastable, and tactile presentation , serves as an explanation for an intuitive worldview and concepts such as the truth, occult (Gheib), love, lover, spirit, manifestation and unification. The focal point of his poems, in fact, comprises a network of metaphor through the metaphorical aspects of "spring" and related and even contrasting image clusters, as well as the symmetrical power of metaphors; metaphors that, due to their dependency on the central meaning, play an important role in the artistic originality of Mowlana's style and the in-text coherence of the ghazals. Also, the use of this conceptual mapping in the context of Mowlana's Ghazals, intellectually, shows Mowlana as a mystic beliving in bast </em>(expansion). He, then, shows that all spring-metaphors or spring-related ones are micro metaphors deriving from the macro-metaphor asserting that "knowledge is a pleasant experience". Then, this spiritual expansion in Mowlana's Ghazals goes hand in hand with metaphorical clusters, resulting in the unification of the uniqueness of his insight into the uniqueness of his poetic style.
