Abstract
Metaphor in the cognitive view is not merely an instrument belonging in literary language, but a mental process which in effect shapes the structure of our perceptions and receptions. Accordingly, using the analytic-descriptive method and drawing upon George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s theory of cognitive metaphor (1980), the present study proposes, through examining Imam Ali (PBUH)’s hadiths, to draw out abstract concepts which were objectified and made easy-to-understand for the audience by him via the root letters ج(j), ل (l), ب )b), ب (b) in the general meaning of covering, and to analyze the mappings between source and target domains. Research findings indicate that, with perfect finesse, Imam Ali (PBUH) objectified for the audience the abstract concepts of religion, certitude, calm, patience, fear, poverty, sedition, neglect, miserliness and shame as abstract target domains through the concrete source domain of covering (jalbaba), and made them easy-to-understand through the concept of covering which was known to people at the time.
