Image Schema in Imam Ali's Morning Supplication Dua Isabah

Image schemas are pervasive organized structures in human cognition, which eventually emerge from our bodily and social interaction with the environment on a perceptual level (johnson, 1987). they are the cornerstone of embodiment. this qualitative study investigates the probability of using image schema properties in imam ali's dua isabah. it hypothesizes that there are clusters of interrelated and intricate schemas in the supplication which reflect force dynamicity and aesthetic images. thirteen utterances from the morning supplication (dua isabah) were selected and analyzed in detail. the findings support the idea that the clusters of related schemas in the supplication reflect force dynamic schemas .
