Abstract

In this research, the metaphor of the sky in Ferdowsi Shahnameh has been studied. Metaphor is one of the literary techniques through which one can test both the poet's linguistic ability and his epistemological world about a problem or point. In this research, it has been shown that Ferdowsi has used various pseudonyms to refer to the sky, which shows the creative power of Ferdowsi in the field of linguistic ability and his acquaintance-de-emission in composing. Also, these metaphors are linguistic meanings They have a variety, some of which observe color, and express the ancient belief in the color of the sky, which was sometimes known as green, sometimes black, and so on. There are other linguistic implications of the figure that the roundness of the sky is more considered by the poet and this point is also due to the thinking and thinking aspect of the poet who considers the origin of human works to be the sky which eventually returns to the beginning. . Another category of linguistic signification refers to the breadth and breadth that has dominated the heavens (and all that is in them) over human life. The method of this research was descriptive-analytical and based on library studies.
