This article is a case study that aimed at investigating the role of pictorial metaphors in conveying the message of citizenship cartoons. For this purpose, four cartoons related to the contrast between book and cyberspace published in Persian-language websites were selected by purposive sampling method. These cartoons then were analyzed in the framework of conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999; Lakoff, 1993) and multimodal metaphor theory (Forceville, 1996, 2008, 2009). the main question of the research is: what pictorial metaphors have been used to express the contrast between books and cyberspace in citizenship cartoons, and what are the source domains in these metaphors? The results showed that pictorial metaphors based on the concepts of train, sea and physical conflict between humans have been used to express the contrast between books and cyberspace. Moreover, the source or target domains of these metaphors involved conceptual metonymy. Thus, metaphor and metonymy interact to create the cartoonist's intended meaning and convey it to their audience based on a kind of analogical reasoning. The results also showed that the pictorial metaphors used in these cartoons were either hybrid or contextual.

Some of the ideas and events serve a prominent position in human life, as though they lead humans to insistence and repetition by becoming a part of the concerns. Ultimately, they have emerged as personally permanent characteristics in humans' conscious and unconscious imagery. But, constant iterations of the mentioned imagery represent subjects that no information about its reality is available under normal circumstances. Notwithstanding, repetition is a linguistic-criticism phenomenon, sometimes it is offered as a motif appearing in the context of essential elements within a poem's text, signs and implications in which the poet uses codes and poetic images among them in order to add beauty and attraction to his/her text. Cartoon Art, as a picture, exaggerated and ridiculous traits offer outstanding design of people or objects and, using an analogy or a metaphor for a plan that sometimes combines with recurring elements and laughs along with the audience, the thoughts and feelings affect his. Thus, this study aims to examine cartoon images Hadi Heidari, the function is studded motif in his works uncover. Methods this cross-sectional study that deals with the depiction of certain objects to reveal the secrets that can mingle with forms of visual elements in his work to understand. Ultimately, they have emerged as personally permanent characteristics in humans' conscious and unconscious imagery.

The aim of this research is to investigate the role of pictorial metaphors in expressing and conveying the message of citizenship cartoons. To achieve this goal, in the form of a case study, seven cartoons published in Persian-language websites were extracted and analyzed in the framework of conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999; Lakoff, 1993) and multimodal metaphor theory (Forceville, 1996; 2008; 2009). The subject of all these cartoons is ‘the environment’ and the main question of the research is what conceptual metaphors and what pictorial metaphors have been used to express the importance and necessity of environmental protection and what are the source and target domains of these metaphors? The results show that cartoons are divided into two categories in terms of their source domain. In one category, the source domain refers to negative and unpleasant concepts (such as smoke and garbage), and their underlying conceptual metaphor is ‘pollution is death’. In the other category, the source domain refers to positive and pleasant concepts (such as respiratory aids) and is based on the conceptual metaphor of ‘tree is life’. Thus, the conceptual contrast between the tree and pollution on the one hand, and between the concepts of life and death on the other, form the main basis of the cartoons message.

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of pictorial metaphors in creating and conveying the message of citizen cartoons. For this purpose, in the form of a case study, seven cartoons on the topic of "booksand book-reading" related to 2019 were extracted from several Persian-language websites and have been analyzed based onConceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999; Lakoff, 1993) and Multimodal Metaphor Theory (Forceville, 1996, 2008, 2009). The main objectives of researchare what conceptual metaphors and pictorial metaphors have been used to express the concept of book-reading (or studying) and what their source domainsare. The results show that metaphors of ‘study is journey’, ‘study is agriculture’, ‘study is finding treasure’, ‘study is health (or life)’, ‘study is purification of mind’, ‘study is raining’ and ‘study is Light’are the underlying conceptual metaphors in the studied cartoons. In all these conceptual metaphors, the target domain (i.e. the study) is represented visually by the image of the book. The interaction between metaphor and metonymy plays a key role in the formation of pictorial metaphors and transmission of cartoon messages.

semantically, discovering the relationship of some verbal metaphors with the intended message is out of reach of the audience, in which case the presence of visual metaphor to reinforce the message will be necessary. This cognitive phenomenon is called multidimensional metaphor. The emergence and spread of corona as an emerging phenomenon has led some magazines and websites to use cartoons made of multifaceted metaphors to convey corona messages. The message in such cartoons is produced through two visual and verbal cognitive expressions; therefore, it is necessary to discover the interaction of both dimensions. In the present study, based on the descriptive-analytical method and based on Forsville (1994) theory, the selected coronary cartoons of Al-Youm Al-Sabee online magazine are examined. The results show that the cartoons in question contain metaphorical cognitive mechanisms; accordingly, the multifaceted metaphors of the cartoons in question - the most frequent of which (42%) are related to health issues - are in order to reinforce the message and help the messenger to identify the relationship between the origin and destination areas. Also, in none of the multidimensional metaphors in question was the possibility of reversing the origin and destination domains found.

This research aims to examine the narrative aspects in Naji al-Ali's images using a narratology method. The presence of narrative aspects in these images as manifested in the fixed characters and the choice of names for them as well as the usage of narrative units and linguistic context in descriptive and explanatory phrases in the cartoons add a narrative dimension to the images and scenes. This study seeks to explain narrative elements in forty selected cartoons, investigating the usage of black and white, literary element, character and temporal and spatial structure in them. Thus, it has examined the narrative aspects of the cartoons in visual and written discourses of the phrases included in the images. The results show that the usage of fixed characters is Naji al-Ali's narrative strategy and he has been leading in using the techniques of temporal association as shown in the phrases and the technique of forecasting using lines and figures. Regarding the literary and spatial elements, it needs to be noted that the location and its functions in his works are Palestine and the earth, where the events and actions take place and its functions are manifested either through the names of the places or their absence. The black and white themes pervade the narrative atmosphere of his cartoons so that they show the empty places by the white color and sorrow by black.

Language learning is not just the learning of vocabulary and grammar. Idioms are the useful structures between language speakers, especially in spoken language.  Maybe the mysterious nature of these structures makes the speakers to be interested in using them. It was said mysterious because they do not have combinational meaning. Idioms have their own context of use and it motivates speakers to use them because the proper use of idioms shows the high level of communication skill of a foreign language learner. But due to the special structure of idioms, it is so hard to learn them.Besides, cartoon is a kind of image which is simple, attractive and borderless.It seems that the interaction between idiom and cartoon results in revealing connotational meaning of idiom and in this way, cartoon develops the literal meaning of idiom.There are various studies on the relationship between text and image in book illustration, teaching language and different sciences and they have confirmed the positive impact of image especially in the form of cartoon or caricature in learning but there is no research about the role of cartoon in learning English idioms to Persian native speakers from the semiotic point of view.This paper aims to evaluate the effect of interaction between speech and cartoon and achieve the effective features of cartoons in revealing the covert meaning of idioms, in the process of English idioms teaching to Persian speakers from semiotic point of view. In this paper, the main problem is how the cartoon, in relation to idioms, changes the space of sense-making from an unpredictable semiotic space to a creative one and how this interaction causes a creative semiotic space to develop the concept of idioms. To evaluate this paper`s hypotheses, we used visual semiotics approach and discourse analysis method. The statistical population of this research includes 60 English language learners in intermediate and advanced level including 30 girls and 30 boys from north and south of Tehran. The hypotheses of this study are that: firstly, cartoons can cause the semiotic development via the sign spaces interaction, inducing a new cognition and developing the scope of imagination. Secondly, speech and cartoon can cause creative usage of idioms via making referential space, using the discourse dimensions and developing the linguistic game in inter-semiotic space.The results show that, cartoons with the appropriate functions of cognitive, sensory- perceptual, emotional and aesthetic dimensions of discourse in which there are maximal transdiscourse relationship with idioms and make an effective interpretation or metadiscourse, cause a creative process and transcend the denotational meaning of idioms to connotational one. So, they can be considered as prosthesis for idioms. As a result, the hypotheses of this research are confirmed.
