Abstract
Proverbs are rooted in the culture and public opinion of the people. Therefore, it is possible to get to know the culture, thought and customs of some nations to some extent. Therefore, examining the imaginary patterns of Emirati dialect proverbs will lead to a deeper acquaintance with the culture and customs of the people of that region; Because it examines the deeper relationship between language and culture. And it leads us to the point that through the understanding of conceptual schemas and abstract concepts, a relatively better understanding of language and culture and some of their functions can be achieved. The present study tries to use descriptive-analytical method to investigate the schemas in Emirati dialect proverbs extracted from the Emirati Al-Rumsa book, based on the model of Likaf and Evans' image schemas in the framework of cognitive semantics, the abundance of schemas It depicts the existing and frequency of each of these schemes and analyzes them. The results of this research indicate that from the total of 22 proverbs selected from the book "Al-Ramsa Al-Emirati" movement schema with 30%, capacity schema with 22%, power schema with 17%, adaptation schema with 13%, and schema with Continuity and fission have 9 percent each, respectively, with the highest frequency. Also, the studies show that the pronouns "Ali and Fay" have a pre-typical and focal meaning that explain the concept (on-in) respectively And when they are used in different contexts, they undergo development in meaning, in the sense that as a result of the effects of accompanying words, other meanings other than the focal meaning are formed around them.
