Abstract

This research is entitled (Conceptual Metaphor of Measuring Time in Kurdish Language). The study is an attempt to show the Kurdish views about measuring time as a cognitive concept, within the framework of conceptual metaphor in Kurdish language. It refers to the schema of the concept of time as place, and how the abstract concept of time appears in concrete forms (objects, movements and quantities) in Kurdish language.

The data were taken from the daily speech of the speakers of the middle dialect of Kurdish. Most of the data were widespread orally and were taken from the ordinary speech of the speakers, while some of them have taken more cultural forms and have been recorded in Kurdish dictionaries.

For the data analysis the study relies on schema theory, mapping, proposed by Lakoff and Johnson within the framework of the school of cognitive linguistics/semantics. Moreover, it refers to how it reflects the individual's experience (such as the main views of school of cognitive semantics) and the principle of forming a pictorial mapping of the Kurdish individual's thought system and its reflection in his speeches have been interpreted as necessary.
