The Study and Analysis of Bland Al-Haidari's Vision of Life in his Poetry through the Perspective of Conceptual Metaphors.

The conceptual metaphor is one of the theories of modern linguists that differ from its classical concept radically. New linguists believe that the aesthetics metaphor is not limited to the fields of rhetoric and literature, rather extends to include the semantic field as well. In the same context, Lykov and Johnson, who are among the forefront theorists of the conceptual metaphor, proposed a new theory represented in the fact that the conceptual metaphor performs a conceptual function in addition to its aesthetic and literary function, which distinguishes it from its old classical concept. Through a descriptive analytical method, this research aims to study the conceptual metaphor in its various forms in Bland Al-Haidari's Divan, based on the motif of life. We searched for conceptual metaphors in their three parts: existential, material, and structural first; and then the analysis of metaphors semantically in line with the objectives of the research. The importance of the topic lies in the fact that the poet expressed his vision tinged with disappointment and frustration, a vision that may turn into a sense of pessimism and absurdity. One of the most important results of this study is that the poet looks at life pessimistically, but his view is not devoid of feelings of optimism and positivity sometimes. In addition, it has been proven through this research that the existential metaphor of its three types, which is adverb, diagnosis, and materiality, is superior to other metaphors in Haidari's poetry in terms of quantity. The reason for this may be due to the poet's keenness to transform his thoughts and visions from an abstract and mental state into tangible material images that the recipient addressee can easily and clearly find familiar with.
