Abstract
Undoubtedly One of the most important issues that nowadays has particular importance in cognitive linguistics as one of the important branches of linguists, is the question of how to get meaning and semantic products, especially through the cognition and cognitive experiences that human get from his environment (the outside world). In this way, the human mind passes various and multiple processes from the time of receiving general and abstract concepts to delivering them in the form of objective and believable meanings. One of the Cognitive linguistic branches, which examines the substantiality-based process of abstract concepts, is the science of cognitive semantics and the body based in it. This pattern, by applying different visual schemes, results in the objectification of cognitive concepts. One of these schemes is dynamic scheme, in which the abstract concepts of the human get movement-based dimension in the form of cognitive experiences, which ultimately make it quite sensible and tangible for him to understand the mentioned concepts. One of the most frequent concepts in the of Imam Ali’s poetry (A.S) is the concept of mortality of the world and worldly life, which has been mentioned in various religious texts such as motifs for the induction of ascetic discourse; that is, the world is not place of inactivity but the place of passing. This article wants to study the World Mortality and the other(eternal) world according to theory of the corporeal cognition in Imam Ali’s poems (A.S). Finally, results of this article shows that he has used the Image-Motion schemes to express concept of the World Mortality and deterioration of the worldly blessings. Application of these schemes are leading to the better understanding and the more effective of his poetry means by reader. This ultimately lead to the abstract concept (World Mortality) being More acceptable and More believable to him.
