Event Structure Metaphor and Its Impact on the Analysis of Quranic Conceptualizations of Metaphors with "Possession" Source

"Possession" is individuals' relationship with objects, indicating humans' control and dominion over them. God, in the language of the Quran, has utilized this tangible and concrete relationship to describe abstract concepts. This study aims to investigate the conceptual domain of ownership as an empirical domain through descriptive-analytic methods of CMT. It employs a cognitive-semantic approach and utilizes theoretical tools of CMT to examine how Quranic abstract concepts are metaphorically conceptualized within this knowledge domain. Research findings demonstrate that the metaphorical system constructs a framework for conceptualizing various conceptual target domains in the language of the Quran, such as wisdom, happiness, divinintyو divine rewards, divine punishment, poverty,among others. These abstract concepts are that have been metaphorically conceptualized as objects and places within the domain of "possession." This metaphorical process is based on mappings such as "STATES/ATTRIBUTES ARE OBJECTS UNDER POSSESSION," "EMOTIONS ARE FORCES", represented in metaphorical expressions found in the verses.
