Cognitive analysis of emotion metaphors of love and sadness in Fozouli Baghdadi poems

The present study, with an interdisciplinary view of literature and cognitive sciences, is dedicated to the study of the metaphorical conceptualization of the emotions of love and sadness in the Persian poems by Mulla Mohammad Fozuli Baghdadi. The issue of this research is what metaphors do Fozuli's Persian poems contain in the field of conceptualizing the said feelings? By examining the number of 5814 poems from Fozuli's Farsi poems it was found that 122 of metaphorical expressions of sadness and 107 of metaphorical expressions in the field of love were included. The conceptual metaphors of emotions in the poems are a reflection of the mentality and type of thinking of its creator, as well as the socio-cultural context of its metaphors. The findings of this research indicate that the emotions of love and sadness in Baghdadi's poems have similarities and differences with the realms of the metaphorical source of Kovecess (2000). The similarity of the metaphorical realms in the metaphorical conceptualization of emotions is a proof of the universal hypothesis of conceptual metaphors. The differences in the metaphorical origin realms in terms of Kovecess and Fozouli are also caused by the cultural beliefs of the specific social and cultural group of Baghdadi.
