  Understanding conceptual relations is essential for considering and conveying meaning, because when examining different types of meaning, it seeks to go beyond the level of linguistic construction and determines the exact meaning of a word in and outside the contexts. This research aims to determine the type and frequency of conceptual relations between Gilaki words used in the folklore tales of Guilan, showing the prevailing semantic relationships among them. For this purpose, 62 stories from the book Folklore Tales of Guilan were analyzed. This research was descriptive-analytical. Conceptual relations including hyponymy, synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, homography, member-collection, meronymy, portion-mass, and repetition were analyzed and the frequency of each was calculated. The results showed that among the types of lexical relations, the occurrence frequency of the lexical relation of hyponymy had the highest frequency with 84%. After the lexical relation of hyponymy, the frequency of occurrence of each of the conceptual relations was determined in the following order: meronymy 6%, portion-mass 3%, synonym 2%, homonymy 1%, member-collection 1%, polysemy 1%, homography 1 %, and repetition 1%. Moreover, between Gilaki words in this variety of language, semantic lexical relations of semantic opposition, semantic contrast and collocation have not been used. Manuscript profile
