A comparative study of the principles of cognitive linguistics with the views of Abdul Qahir Jorjani

Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani , who is known as the founder of semantics in the fifth century AH (1009-1078 AD), has important works such as Dalāʾil al-Iʿjāz, including the topics of semantics and the Asrār al-balāghah, including discussions about synecdoche, simile, allegory and metaphor; And it has played an important role in the development of Islamic rhetorical sciences. He formulated the views of the rhetoricians before him, taking into account the context and mental states of the speaker and the audience, in the form of syntactic construction, and presented a new perspective, which he referred to as "the meanings of the grammar." It refers to new meanings that are obtained by repositioning sentence elements, relating sentences to each other, introducing some elements or not, and emphasizing some words. Al-Jurjani  has looked at the language and rhetoric from most possible perspective, but Western linguists and philosophers such as Richards, Ferdinand de Saussure, M. A. K. Halliday, Leonard Bloomfield, Noam Chomsky , George Lakoff, Benjamin Lee Whorf are more limited in their language perspective.  In this article, we have compared and analyzed the views of cognitive linguists with the linguistic perspectives of Abdul Qahir. Abdul Qahir and Cognitive linguists have considered language to be one of the cognitive forces of human beings that has an empirical origin with a psychological and social role. And grammar follows meaning and concept, and the meaning of language is influenced by the individual's point of view, position, and knowledge, and its objective application.
