One of the prominent features of allegorical texts is their dual structure, consisting of surface and deep levels. Conceptual metaphor provides a useful framework for uncovering hidden layers of a text and exploring the creator’s thoughts, thus opening new perspectives of understanding for the reader. In other words, conceptual metaphor enables a clearer interpretation of abstract concepts by transferring them into concrete or relatively concrete domains.This study, using a descriptive-analytical method and based on Lakoff and Johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphor, examines conceptual metaphors of “the world” and their source domains in Book Three of Rumi’s Masnavi-ye-Ma‘navi. It aims to identify meaningful connections between Rumi’s personal-social experiences and his selection of source domains for these metaphors. By analyzing these metaphors, the study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the concept of the world in Rumi’s thought.
The findings reveal that ontological metaphors of the world have the highest frequency in this book, while orientational metaphors have the lowest frequency. The analysis of source domains shows that Rumi mainly employs elements that had an experiential and tangible presence in his lived environment in Balkh and Konya.The results also indicate that the concept of “the world” in this work generally has a negative connotation. Rumi views the world from different perspectives and, through various conceptual metaphors, reveals broader dimensions of it as an earthly existence. Most of these metaphors emphasize the world’s deceptive nature, its ability to create attachment, and its role in preventing human beings from reaching the Eternal Beloved.
