The role of conceptual metaphor in producing critical discourse by Samad Behrangi (A case study of "The Little Boy's Tale" based on Falkloff's theory and the persuasive model of Holland and Fellow authors, and Wood and Ilgie)

English The metaphor is the mapping of the respective territories (origin and destination) in the conceptual system and the semantic development.
 Howland et al. (1953) as well as Wood and Ilgie (1981) in the field of meaning development and discourse production: The metaphor uses primary, secondary and final validity as well as the power of persuasion, by enhancing knowledge confidence in the metaphorical cognitive system, by The use of source domain and the use of effective communication channels also help in the development and enhancement of the semantic coefficient (conceptualization and production of discourse) of the text, as well as the adherence to contextual indices and the ability to use rhetorical auxiliary strategies.
 The present study investigates the conceptual metaphor of Samad Bahrangi's "The Little Boy's Tale" and its role in the production of critical discourse (Norman Falkloff's theory). Critically the story concludes that the source (intuitive) territory of Samad Behrangi's metaphors in The Little Boy's Tale is that of cruelty and its intended destination is the social inequality and the overwhelming class distance that came from the social-democratic political system. By producing these mappings in public opinion, the author contributes to the development of social justice by changing the ruling system of society.
