Abstract

This research entitled (Kurdish language between concept and meaning). Which explains that meaning is not abstract and truth condition, but embodied and experiential. It arises from our sensory- motor experiences, interaction with the world and cognitive processes (like perception, attention, categorization). The formulation of the cognitive framework for this idea goes back to (Charles Fillmore), when he said that: A cognitive frame is a structured mental knowledge schema representing a coherent segment of human experience, belief, or practice. Frames encompass participants roles entities, sequence of events.
