One of the greatest fields of linguistics is semantics and the knowledge of meaning review that is of a comprehensive concept and includes all common language signs and non-linguistic signs. the school of semantics has sub-branches, one of the most important of which is applied cognitive semantics, which itself is a sub-branch of cognitive semantics. In Shams"s poetry, in terms of explanation and explanation of the verses, we are faced with Some verses which have no specific meaning at all, and some verses have ambiguities at the level of words or words, which have caused confusion in the description of Shams"s poetry. The purpose of this essay is to examine the verses of the third category based on standards and in a descriptive and analytical way. This essay is based on the theory of Leonard Talmy in which there are three components for applied cognitive semantics.

METHODOLOGY

The research method in the present study is a combination of analytical and descriptive methods based on the study of related books and essays with statistical results. The basis of work is Sham’s sonnets book and the first 40 poems of it.

FINDINGS
Findings show that the theory of applied cognitive semantics by Leonard Talmy is considered as a suitable criterion and pattern for analysis of books like Sham’s sonnets in which sorts of ambiguity are seen.
CONCLUSION

Results show that among all components of Talmy’s theory, conceptual structure is of the most frequency and it means the coherence between words or collocation in the sentences.
