Abstract

Cognitive semantics is one of the main branches of cognitive linguistics that analyzes the meaning based on cognition. This attitude can play an important role in analyzing the meaning of Quranic chapters by using its theoretical foundations such as the issue of real and inclusive development with conceptual metaphors and pictorial schemas. This descriptive-analytical study examines the semantic objects of Surah "Kahf" with a cognitive semantic approach to reveal their hidden or multiple meanings. Therefore, in this article, it was found that the word "Kitab" refers to the attribute of non-deviation and coherence of the knowledge reached to the prophet, The word "fatiya" refers to the attribute of chivalry and the strength of faith of the companions of the cave, The meanings of action seek to inform the reflection of the good and evil intentions of man, The word "Dhi Al-Qarnayn" refers to the power and warfare of the great kingdom, and the word "Al-Sabb" refers to the knowledge of Dhi Al-Qarnayn, which served as a guide for her. Finally, the words "Yagug and Magog" also indicate the extent of evil and corruption of this people.
