Conceptual metaphors have always been a significant subject in cognitive semantics. As the two leading theoreticians of this field, Lakoff and Johnson emphasized the physical aspects and bodily experience of conceptual metaphors. In addition to the physical aspect, later, other theorists led by Kovecses emphasized the role of context, especially the cultural context in the processing and understanding of conceptual metaphors. Adunis, an Arabic poet and critic, focuses on thought and culture in his poems, and his poetry book, Aghani Mahyar al-Demashghi, has intellectual and cultural foundations and substructures that are taken from philosophy, Sufism and Surrealism. In the meantime, the similarity of cultural experience in the construction of conceptual metaphors and its relationship with cultural foundations in Adunis's thought and poetry is the main motivation for the present research. The results of the research demonstrate that the metaphor "dynamism is progress and innovation" is the most important conceptual domain of Adunis’s thought and poetry in the poetry collection "Aghani Mahyar alDemashghi". On this basis, Adunis conceptualizes the destination domain of "dynamics" using multiple and sometimes contradictory concepts such as running, flowing, stopping, burning, etc., which are all in line with the objective concept of "progress" in his semantic world.

Of the influential features in determining the type of lexical aspect are dynamicity, durativity, telicity, homogeneity and atomicity of the verb. This qualitative and descriptive-analytical research is based on the data obtained by participatory observation and unstructured and semi-structured interviews with Laki speakers in Darehshahr (Ilam). Based on aspectual approaches of Rostein (2004), Filip (2004: 2012), and Croft (2012), the present study attempts to examine the impacts of these semantic features in determining aspect types in the given dialect. It focuses on those semantic features contributing into determining the lexical aspect types in Laki. It shows that in Laki dialect of Darehshahr, like many Indo-European languages, the mentioned features are influential in determining the lexical aspect type and based on them the situation aspect can be determined. It also shows that in order to explain the factors influencing the situational aspect type, not only the verb and its arguments, but in some cases the semantic and even the pragmatic context should be considered. Keywords: lexical (situational) aspect, dynamicity, durativity, telicity, homogeneity, atomicity, Laki dialect of Darehshahr IntroductionOne essential category, along with other categories formulated in the verb (such as mood, transitivity, and tense), is aspect. Aspect is usually considered as the way of looking at the internal temporal events in terms of their inception, realization, unfolding, or completion. In aspectual studies, a distinction is often made between two major types of aspect; while grammatical aspect is usually expressed with a definite inflectional or periphrastic element in VP, in lexical approaches to the aspect, without any specific grammatical sign, verbs inherently unfold the intrinsic aspectual properties indicating the beginning, continuation, or completion of the events. In recent approaches to lexical (situational) aspect, the intrinsic features of the verbs are considered to have influential impacts in determining the lexical aspectual type. Of the influential features in determining the type of lexical aspect are dynamicity, durativity, telicity, homogeneity, and atomicity of the verb. As a result, the study of these features as influencing factors is regarded to be of paramount importance in the grammar of natural languages.Materials and MethodsDue to the nature of the present study, it has been designed to be a qualitative, descriptive-analytical research based on observation and interviews with Lak speakers and the review of existing text documents. The statistical population of the study includes Lak speakers of Darehshahr villages located in the south of Ilam, Iran. To reduce the effects of language contact, speakers have been selected from villages whose inhabitants often do not speak a language other than Laki. Also, efforts were made to select speakers from families who do not speak a language other than Laki at home. In order to be a comprehensive research, an attempt was made to select speakers from a wide range of literate and illiterate, old, middle-aged and young, and of both male and female genders in a purposeful sampling method. The data collection method was through participatory observation and sometimes unstructured and semi-structured interviews. In this study, after ensuring the linguistic corpus of the study, with thematic analysis, the types of situational (lexical) aspect between the data and the linguistic body mentioned in the studied dialect of the studied Laki dialect have been investigated. Then, according to Croft model (2012) as a comprehensive model in explaining aspectual verb classes, verbs were identified and examined based on the criteria and characteristics considered in the framework of the model. Discussion of Results and Conclusions To distinguish the aspectual verbs, distinguishing features and components such as dynamicity, homogeneity, telicity, and atomicity have been used. Based on aspectual approaches of Krifka (1998), Rothstein (2004), Filip (2004: 2012), and Croft (2012), the present study attempts to examine the impacts of these semantic features to determine the aspect types in the given dialect. It tries the answers to the following questions: To what extent can the mentioned factors help in determining the lexical aspect types in Laki, which is one of the Northwestern Iranian languages? Are the mentioned features intrinsic to the verb and the lexical level? Or should the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic factors be also considered in analyzing the situational aspect? This study shows that in the Laki dialect of Darehshahr, the semantic features of dynamicity, durativity, telicity, homogeneity, and atomicity of the verbs are among the most influential factors in determining the lexical aspect type of the verbs, and therefore, based on these elements the situation aspect system can be determined in the given dialect of Laki. Contrary to some views that consider telicity as an intrinsic feature of the verb, it was observed that in order to explain the factors influencing the situational aspect type, not only the verb and its arguments but in some cases the semantic and even the pragmatic context should be considered. This is in line with the findings of Dowty (1986), Krifka (1998), and Filip (2004, 2009, and 2012). This study also showed that in the mentioned dialect of Laki, like many other Iranian languages, perfect verbs have a telic property and imperfect ones have an atelic property, which is consistent with the findings of Filip (2009) and Borer (2013). It has also been observed that in Laki, as in many Indo-European languages ​​(Comrie, 1976: 46), it is possible to create telic verbs from atelic ones using morphological rules. In addition, due to the unmarked nature of atelic verbs in Laki, it can be concluded that the demarcation of each atelic verb can be used as a basis for making a telic predicate, provided that the verb is combined with an appropriate incremental argument that characterizes the quantitative criterion (QC). This is consistent with the findings of Filip (1999).

The lexical aspect of contemporary Persian was studied in this article. The data which were extracted from Farhang-i-buzurg-i-soxan (Anvari, 2007) were investigated based on scalar approach. The traditional theories cannot differentiate and explain various aspectual events because of inadequate binary aspectual features. The investigation of data showed that scalar theory along with traditional features like [± duration], [± dynamicity], and [± telicity] provides a more comprehensive aspectual classification and clearer explanation of Persian verbs and events. The traditional theories cannot account for verbs of degree achievements which have the dual [+ telic] and [- telic] aspectual behavior. By following the scalar approach, Persian verbs are classified into scalar (open and closed) and non-scalar (semelfactive and activity) categories. The non-scalar activity and semelfactive verbs are respectively durative and punctual events. The open scalar verbs show the dual telicity whereas the closed ones have [+ telic] feature. The closed scalar verbs are classified into two-point scalar and multi-point scalar events. These two categories differ from each other based on the [± durative] feature. The two-point scalar verbs show punctual changes while the multi-point scalar ones undergo durative changes to achieve the endpoint.

Two elements of character and accident are studied in this paper to see if value added characteristics are a result of characterization or if they are dependent upon events.
Eight variables of dynamic characters, sadness, happiness, fear, anxiety, hope, despair, patience, and intolerance were selected and studied using content analysis. The statistical analysis showed that anxiety had the highest prevalence—18 times repeated—while despair had the lowest frequency of 4 times. The high and low number of changes along with events and happenings by characters presents negative or positive behaviors on the part of the characters. Thus characters in this story overwhelm events adding positive or negative values. Also the writer's ideological views as well as political and social changes of his time have directly affected the outcome.

The main purpose of this paper is the investigation of Persian modal auxiliary verbs in the framework of force-dynamic model of Talmy and idealized cognitive model of Langacker. Force-dynamic model which stands, originally, for the analysis of action and reaction of physical objects in the real world, has been used by Talmy for characterizing the deontic notion of modal auxiliaries and then, extended by Sweetser for conceptualizing the epistemic reading of modals. The investigation of deontic and epistemic notions of modal auxiliaries on the basis of this model, revealed that the actualization of the event is not guaranteed but it is actualized in the nonfactual world. The second model, i.e., the metaphoric idealized cognitive model, known as epistemic model, is proposed by Langacker under the influence of Lakoff's theory of idealized cognitive models. The investigation of modal auxiliaries in the framework of this model showed that modal auxiliaries are not under epistemic control and fall in the realm of irreality and with respect to the rate of momentum construed to the specified event, the modals locate in a near of far distance from immediate reality. By comparing the results of the two models, it is revealed that not being under epistemic control equals not being guaranteed and on the other hand, actualizing the situation in nonfactual world means falling in the scope of irreality; so, the two models cooperate in conceptualizing the Persian modal auxiliary verbs.

The issue of motion and change in the world has long attracted the attention of all sages, especially muslem thinkers. In Molavi’s ideas, all the parts of the world are in motion. And, this motion is evident in both appearances and the inner nature of the universe. According to Molavi, the interior nature of all phenomena is in motion. The stagnance and apparent motionlessness in the world is illusion. This intellingent movement is only detected by the people of truth like the prophets. Molavi relates the source of this motion in nature to the teleological end of the world as predestined by soleman, and mountains sing with David’s songs. According to Molavi, all movements in this world orginate from a stable truth, which is above any motion and is referred to as “ocean, the den of truth, or the colorless world of peace.” The restless things become peaceful and motionless in this den of truth.
