Abstract

Metaphor in ancient and classic approach is word- base and has artistic and aesthetics functions and its presence is not more than literally language whereas looking at cognitive mataphorology is conceptual – base and not word- base, Jorge Likaf and Mark Jonson account it as an instrument for thinking which runs through human behavior . This article tries to study and analyze image metaphor in Siniya Bohtorei and Ahmad Shoghi by School of Comparative American Literature. The results of the study show that this two poet could conceptualize abstract senses by visual senses in containment schemes (volume, ability, and motive). By thinking at two poets we can conclude that common cultural models are the base of conceptual metaphors, so that two poet by using their daily experiences of the events that take place around them could draw the concepts which are not abstract or intangible concepts. Although using containment schemas in Siniya Bohtorei in contrary to Sine Ahmad Shoghi are more and accurate.
