From cognitive linguistics' point of view, the conceptual system according to which man thinks and acts has a metaphorical nature. Therefore, metaphor is an important part of colloquial language and can be one of the ways to understand the psychological structure of people in society and their mental concepts. Consequently, technology-derived metaphor can also express the psychological structure of language speakers and their mental concepts about how humans encounter technology and the way these two interact with each other. Enjoying the descriptive-analytical method, this study has investigated the anthropological role of the conceptual metaphor of "man is technology" in the colloquial Arabic. Studies show that, in the colloquial Arabic, there is a cognitive-ideal model regarding the relationship between man and technology, in which the source territory includes elements such as "car", "cell phone", "computer", "internet" and "industry" and "Man", as the target territory, is the center of gravity in this cognitive model. The conceptual metaphor of "man is technology" with all its components is subconsciously evoked in the colloquial Arabic which creates a metaphorical mapping between the source and target territories. Based on this mapping, abstract concepts are expressed in a simple and tangible language and they somehow convey the inability of man against technology and the domination of technology over his present and future life.

Many Quran scholars have long been fascinated by the An-Nur verse. Despite the absolute denial of any similarity between his holy nature and the rest of the cosmos, this monotheistic verse contains metaphorical language. Most Qur'anic interpretations have focused on the idea that there are outside and inner meanings and each interpretation has sought to decipher the meaning of this verse using one of these two ideas. This descriptive-analytical study explores and compares the interpretation of the An-Nur verse by Sharif al-Murtaza, Mulla Sadra, and Sultan Muhammad Sultan Ali Shah Gunabadi with their interpretations. The verse's meaning has been interpreted differently by these interpreters, who have divergent and, at times, contradictory intellectual orientations. Even though all three of them deviate from the apparent meaning, Sharif al-Murtaza interprets the verse by placing the concept of reasonable arguments within the field of the Arabic language and its capacities because the holy word is a type of speech. Mulla Sadra and Gunabadi, on the other hand, are proponents of the inner meaning of the verses and view the Qur'an as a mystical word with a high meaning potential that requires revelation and spiritual internalization to comprehend. The conventional definition of Sharif al-Murtaza's work is a commentary built on logic and language that benefits from his knowledge of both languages and words. Nevertheless, according to Mulla Sadra and Gunabadi, this attempt to comprehend the meaning is more interpretation in applying the verse to multiple and even endless cases.

One of the most significant subjects to have entered the social-political sphere, as well as the literary sphere, in the past100 years is the ideaof Salafismasa realist phenomenonthat hassince developed intoadiscourse.This concept understood idiomatically, is the outcomeofa historicaltrend in Islamthatviews itselfassubmissivetothe virtuous predecessor(Salaf-e-Saleh) interms of religious observanceandemulates the Prophet of Islam(pbuh), his companions, and subordinates indeeds and beliefs.The Salafi movements however,whicharethe result of IbnTaymiyah's misinterpretations ofthe ideas of monotheism, polytheism, tradition, and heresy, are what we witnesstoday in the political andsocial spheres.the current study examined the Salafi discours in AhmedMuharram's political court, an Egyptian nationalist and Islamist poet using Fairclough's critical discourse as a guide.The study's findings suggest that the threeaxes of Islamism, nationalism, and ethnic-Arabictendencies are consolidated in Muharram political poems based onIslamic philosophy.Thesethree axes have beenused t guide theselection ofwords and expressions at the levelof description.The reformist Salafi discourse in Ahmed Muharram's poetry is influenced bythe Salafi inclination of Seyed Jamaluddin Asadabadi and Muhammad Abdo toward issues like the establishment of the Islamic society, returning to true Islam andthe Qur'an, inept rulers, ignorance, neglect, and a lack of willpowerin the people, as well as the struggle againstcolonialism. The solitary identity found in this poetry hasonly one significant source: Islam. This sense of identity segregation demonstrates the poet's mentality tobe heavily influenced by Islamic thought. On the other hand, opposition to the traditional andsecular discourse of Egyptian society, as well as references to thepast and the ideal society, are ideas thathave cultivated and developed the poet's Salafi identityof resistance.

In letter 53 of Nahjul Balaghah, syntactical and semantic coherence between various grammars is noticeable. Since Nahjul Balaghah is a literary, social, cultural, and political text, it drives the reader to seek meaning in it. Hence, the authors used grammatical voices in this letter which reveal syntactical constructions, since grammatical voices are examined in verbs. In the meantime, alternation is part of a verb’s descriptive situation that is focused attention and hence creates a changing meaning in two seemingly-similar syntactical constructions. Using the descriptive-analytical method and also credible Internet sources, and reference to library methods, it was concluded active/middle alternation, which saw the highest frequency when matched with the verbs of the letter 53. Marked alternation in active/middle voices by rating participants’ roles in the present situation had the highest frequency..

Based on the progress of psychology studies and the attention paid to children's cognitive, personality, emotional, and social development, it has been shown that psychological well-being is important for having a good life and helping children grow up to have productive and successful lives. Zakaria Tamer is a writer who works in the field of children's literature and writes in the Arabic language. He believes that the story is a platform that has an educational and psychological function and that it is effective in nurturing and flourishing the child's personality and ensuring that the child's mental health is maintained. A descriptive-analytical approach was taken in this study to investigate the components of well-being. Taking into account the importance of mental health as well as the need to raise the level of children's productivity and self-actualization, the present study was carried out. According to the obtained results, Zakaria Tamer tries to influence children's personality development and enhance their mental health by using a smooth style, a straightforward fantasy that is based on external reality, and animal characters that are drawn from natural elements and occasionally human. He also explains moral principles in his stories. Finally, he describes psychological well-being indicators in his stories, including personal development, independence, autonomy, effective and positive interpersonal communication, a sense of purpose in life, and control over one's environment. Tamer also aims to institutionalize away from idealistic self-concept and attention to self-concept in the child's institution through symbolic and metaphorical language use.

In the field of language philosophy, awareness and utilization of innovative methods play a significant role in better understanding the message of a text. One of these methods is proposed by Paul Ricoeur. His method, through the hermeneutic arc, consists of three parts: meaning clarification, understanding, and self-appropriation. Since this model can be effectively applied to the poem "هلکانحبا " and its literary beauty, including poetic imagination and discernment, are showcased in all three parts, this paper employs a descriptive-analytical approach to implement this interpretive model in understanding the aforementioned poem by Badr Shakir Al-Sayyab, a famous Iraqi poet of the 20th century. The aim is to comprehend the central core of the poem (plot) and analyze the imperceptible elements of the text from three different perspectives. The research findings indicate that the poet employs the elements of both stationary and moving natural objects while using fewer static and simplistic words and presenting hidden meanings through metaphors and figures of speech. The results also demonstrate that the poet, by using a question-and-answer style, approaches the poem in a conversational manner, allowing his thoughts to emerge from behind a mask. Accordingly, the customary poetic meters are subordinate to his language. Moreover, human character and emotions are manifest in his poetry, specifically in expressing love and the whispering of romantic songs. Additionally, in Badr Shakir Al-Sayyab's work, social and cultural discourses can also be observed, which are analyzable through the method of reconstruction in structuralism.
