Directional Metaphor In The Quranic Text – Cognitive Approch

Résumé: Abstract: The text of the Holy Quran represents the special miraculous text in its meaning, rhetoric, eloquence and style. That is why it is the ideal model for those who want to straighten their tongue, elevate their language and enrich their thoughts. The qur’anic text is charged with enormous metaphorical energy, created for us a conceptual structure that had taken root in our minds and which became the emanation of our metaphorical expressions, which are the reflection and manifestation of mental metaphors residing in our minds. These are the kind of metaphors that researchers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson worked on in their book (Metaphors We Live By). This study will focus on directional metaphors in the Quranic text, in particular the large directional metaphor (good up/bad down).
