Abstract :

According the cognitive ideas mental images form metaphoric images. This article investigates factors affecting on metaphors in the poems of the bilingual poet Shahriyar and whether these metaphors could mirror the world view of the poet. The framework of the this research is Lakoff and Johnson’s (1998, 1993) classification of conceptual metaphors and also Koveces’s (2005, 2010) on classification of metaphors into universal and variable depending on context and culture. In this research metaphors are placed in five groups: nature, love and separations, religious and ideological, political and social and finally, racial. The statistics showed that in the universe of these two languages metaphorical domains, political, social and racial ones depend on language and this hypothesis that metaphorical images are not only linguistic categories, but form the basis of the thinking and behavior of human beings is proved.
