Abstract

This study analyzes one of Hafez’s lyrics, with the approach of cognitive poetics, based on the ideas of Margaret Freeman (2002), Fauconnier (2002) and Turner (2005). The theory of cognitive poetics refers to the language of literary texts, the general structure of the work, and the arrangement of linguistic units, which is based on deductive reasoning. The above theory examines literary work in three levels of attribute, relational, and system mapping. The research question is “whether with the approach of cognitive poetry we can achieve a result of the systematic structure of the general Hafez ghazal or not? And is there any different reading from this ghazal with this approach? The present study, by studying the conceptual spaces in their poetry and their function for constructing a coherent whole based on the theory of cognitive poetry, has come to understand the world of the text of the sonnets discussed and outlines patterns used by the author to present his intellectual world. And the system of the structure of the ghazal under discussion a coherent military, in which the freedom and the turning of love or drunkenness are clearly seen, that reveals itself to the inflexibility and limitations of the wisdom.
