Abstract: (741 Views)
In this research, Iranian fairy tales whose destination field is "woman" and words related to it are examined to use this theory in these stories and to know the source domains and destination domains of the widely used, cognitive characteristics, cultural and social constructions, worldviews and prevailing thoughts. In this research, 85 stories are analyzed, among which 128 conceptual metaphors with the destination domain of woman are extracted. Based on the research results in Iranian legends, 11 source domains, including plants, animals, objects, food, fruits, natural elements, etc., have been used to conceptualize woman. These source domains in relation to women sometimes carry a positive meaning such as the vitality and comfortingness of a woman, life-giving, unity and popularity, and sometimes a negative meaning such as evilness. They convey a oppressive and harmful nature about women. Finally, the prevailing attitude towards women in these legends is traditional and stereotyped.
Keywords: conceptual metaphor of woman, Iranian legends and conceptual metaphors, The metaphor of women and girls in popular literature, Analysis of Iranian legends and literary theories.
