Abstract EN

Metaphors are an essential part of human experience.

Each person depends on their everyday experience in relation to the linguistic system so that an image is created in their mind.

The purpose of this study is to investigate metaphors of emotions in the Glorious Quran from a cognitive perspective.

Throughout conceptual metaphors, readers structure and understand the abstract concepts in terms of more concrete ones.

They perform more significant functions when they are used in the language of the Glorious Qur’an which has intellectual, psychological and aesthetical significances.

Using a three dimensional model to analyze the data which consists of the following; First, Lakoff and Johnson's Metaphors We Live By in its two editions (1980) and (2003).

Second, Arabic data depends on al-Hayani (Metaphor in the Glorious Qur'an: Its Patterns and Rhetorical Meanings) (2016) who classifies meanings into three types; intellectual, psychological and aesthetic.

Third, Newmark’s' (1988) model of translation is also adopted.

In this study, six Ayahs contain different types of emotions from the Glorious Quran are analyzed.

The miraculous nature of the Glorious Qur'an is represented by its language which, unlike ordinary language, underlies variety of meanings.

As a result, three translations are chosen; Pickhtall (1930), Ali (1987) and Hilali and Khan (1996).

This study concludes that metaphors of emotions have a decisive role in our daily experience.
