A comparative analysis of mapping the structural elements of "lost object" to the structural elements of "love" in the poems of Saadi Yusuf and Ahmed Shamlou.

Saadi Yusuf and Ahmed Shamlou are among the greatest poets of the present century who have presented intangible concepts such as love in a tangible form to the audience of their poetry by using conceptual metaphor. The cognitive study of conceptual metaphor in the poems of these two poets is not the only way to understand abstract concepts such as love in a material conceptual framework called "lost object"; It is also a way to understand the abstract concept of love more deeply. The reflection of the intangible image of love in the tangible mirror of the "lost object" helps the audience to understand this complex and intangible concept in a simpler and more tangible way. This research investigates the creative organization of the concept of love as the destination realm in the empirical form of "lost object" as the origin realm with an inductive and descriptive-analytical method and with the comparative approach of the American school. In addition, it also deals with the mapping of this name mapping quantitatively and in the form of a diagram. The results of the present research are that by identifying the systematic correspondences between the intangible concept of love and the tangible concept of "lost object", in addition to proving the textual coherence and showing the structural link, the missing aspect of this basic and life-creating concept is highlighted in the social dimension and the dangers of a world without love are reminded. learned and bring it back into life.
