Investigating the application of cognitive grammatical categories in the analysis of Persian poetry narration

Cognitive Grammar as one of the newest approaches to the study of language, based on the cognition and mental processes, examines language with a conceptual and novel perspective. The main claim of the present study is the applicability of cognitive grammatical categories in the study of Persian poetry narration. To prove this claim, first the basic theories of cognitive grammar in the face of grammatical categories are explained and then the application of each grammatical category in the analysis of the method of narration of the poems of some famous poets has been studied. The results of the present study show that grammar classifies grammatical categories based on dynamicity and process by giving originality to the time. Since the category of verb is one of the pillars of Persian poetry, the special method of cognitive grammatical categorization can analyze the method of narration of poetry in a special and cognitive way. Also, the sub-categories of nouns and adjectives play the most important role in the narrative method.
