Abstract

Language is a manifestation of the imaginary system of the mind and the metaphors used in the language reflect our intellectual infrastructure. Understanding the metaphor and its cultural and sensory status is very useful in recognizing and understanding language and communication. One of the important roles of language is to convey each person’s emotions to other people. Emotions are abstract concepts that can be objectified through metaphors. In this study, by examining the metaphors of sadness and happiness in the everyday speeches of Persian-speaking citizens, we found that, to express happiness, “good mental and physical condition” and “material” and to express sadness, “illness”, “stress” and “burden” are the most frequent domains. As a matter of fact, metaphor is one of the most efficacious characteristic in strengthening the language that increases the reader’s attention to the text as well as enhance language power in conveying emotions.
