Abstract

Abstract
Conceptualization is one of the important links between human mind and language in the important and complex mechanisms of human life such as cognition, learning and interaction with the world. The need for conceptualization becomes more prominent in some discourse areas, such as philosophical discussions and the explanation of abstract experiences. Among the periodical styles of Persian poetry, the Indian style is an important style for dealing with complex intuitive images and abstract statements. Several researches have been conducted regarding conceptual metaphors in Indian style poetry, the results of which show that these poets creatively benefit from the linguistic possibilities and physical features of the world of sensations to understand and explain personal and philosophical experiences resulting from spiritual behavior and abstract concepts. The main issue of the current research was the introduction of numerical dependents as a part of conceptual-ontological metaphors in Indian style poetry, for the purpose of wide conceptualizations of this poetry. To carry out this descriptive-analytical research, studies in the field of cognitive linguistics as well as philosophical-physical topics were used in the recognition of the qualities of matter, and we reached these results: numerical dependents with the pattern (number + dependent: material + few: abstract) are often used to conceptualize things. Abstract and subjective are introduced in Indian style poetry and by attributing the physical qualities of matter (weight, length, height, time and volume) to mental matters, it helps to make these concepts more objective; For this reason, this group of numerical dependents can be considered ontological metaphors (often material and sometimes recognition).
 
1. Introduction
Conceptualization is one of the important interfaces between human mind and language in the important and complex mechanisms of human life such as cognition, learning and interaction with the world. The need for conceptualization becomes more prominent in some discourse areas, such as philosophical discussions and the explanation of abstract experiences. Among the periodical styles of Persian poetry, the Indian style is an important style for dealing with complex intuitive images and abstract expressions. Religious-mystical philosophy has paid a lot of attention to conceptualization due to the nature and specific direction of intellectual components. In Islamic philosophy, "credibility" is considered as a tool and solution for understanding and thinking about mental matters in the process of cognition. In this view, the perception of existence is not exclusive to sense, and reason, illusion, fantasy, intuition and mysticism are also known to be effective in epistemology; Islamic philosophers have called knowledge resulting from sense "acquired science" and knowledge resulting from inner perceptive powers "present science". With the specialization of the sciences in the 20th century, the science of cognitive linguistics became responsible for the study of "embodied mentality" or "embodied mind" in order to use the method of interdisciplinary studies and with the benefit of the results of researches in the psychology of language (including the basics of neurology, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, culture and anthropology) and phenomenological philosophy to show how the embodiment of mental affairs, i.e. the coexistence of mind and matter, is processed in the brain and language. The main issue of the present research was the introduction of numerical dependents as a part of conceptual-ontological metaphors in Indian style poetry, for the purpose of extensive conceptualizations of this poetry. The process of this research was achieved by answering these questions: 1- What role do numerical dependents play in expressing the spiritual experiences of the Indian style poet and objectifying his mental concepts for the audience? 2- Which part of numerical dependents is a tool for conceptualizing abstract matters and visualizing immaterial concepts in Indian style poetry? 3- Numerical dependents are mostly in which group of types of conceptual metaphors? The necessity of conducting the present research is to present a model of conceptualization in a part of Persian literature, whose prominent feature is entering into the ambiguous and abstract fields
1.1. Research Methodology
To carry out this research, firstly, examples related to numerical dependents (with the pattern of number + dependent: material-minor: abstract) were searched and extracted in the poems of Indian style poets; For more accuracy and accuracy and to find more poetry samples for more accurate evaluations, Dorj and Ganjur software were used. About 500 examples were extracted from the study of divans of Indian style poets (included in the insert) such as: Asir, Bidel, Joya, Seidai Nasfi, Saeb Tabrizi, Fasihi Heravi, Fayaz, Kasab Shirazi, Vaez Qazvini. Then these verses were compared with the poets' printed divans and edited (only poems that the author found in the poet's printed divan are included in this article, and the rest of the samples were removed). Due to the characteristic of imitation and assurance as well as the repetition of the theme and image in the Indian style poetry, there were many examples of several types and forms among the verses, which were also removed and a more beautiful and eloquent example was chosen for each conceptualization. Then, according to the qualities of the material and the characteristics of the types of ontological metaphors, the numerical dependents used for conceptualization in this poem were divided, classified and analyzed.
2. Discussion
Numerical dependents, with the four mentioned patterns (material-material/material-abstract/abstract-material/abstract-abstract) have had several important effects in the text of Indian style poems: 1- They have refreshed the original devices that were worn out due to intense repetition, with All kinds of morphological, syntactic and rhetorical deviations (which have been discussed in detail in previous researches) have caused innovative and creative creations in the axis of coexistence and succession of Indian style poetry. 2- He invented new qualities and limitations in poetic language. 3- He replaced many similes, metaphors, ironies and dead symbols with new combinations and symbols. 4- It has created new forms of exaggeration and exaggeration in the text of the poem. 5- It has created a wide and delicate network of all kinds of proportions in the level of loss and meaning of the poem. 6 With his presence, he has become the basis for all kinds of themes and linguistic and mental games in the poem, adding to the poetic ambiguity and its greater impact on the audience's thoughts and emotions. But the special and important effect of a type of numerical dependents with the pattern "number + dependent: material - few: abstract" in Indian style poetry is that it has been able to relate physical and material properties to mental and non-material elements in an artistic way. to give In this way, the numerical dependents are the context for the conceptualization of abstract matters desired by the poets of this style of imaginary and artistic worlds and discovery and intuitions of taste and taste. Borrowing properties belonging to physicality from the world of sensations is the first step of conceptualization through numerical dependents, the same step that was mentioned in the discussion of cognitive metaphors as image schemas, and in the second step, the physical structure borrowed from the material world to An immaterial concept is attributed. What is obtained from this adaptation is the objectification of the poet's mental world and personal imaginary and abstract experiences.
3. Conclusion
This research showed that the numerical dependents with the pattern (number + dependent: material - few: abstract) by formulating material qualities such as: dimension, weight, time or volume to mental and abstract matters, mostly for the conceptualization of these matters in the poetry of style poets. Indian is entered; It means borrowing from the tangible world to visualize the intangible. For this reason, this category of numerical dependents can be considered a part of ontological metaphors in Indian style poetry. The formation of these metaphors in Indian style poetry is a function of lived physical experience; The description of bodily experiences or perceptual perceptions based on bodily experience, which is the basis for the formation of image schemas, forms the first step of the conceptualization process with numerical dependents; The second step is structuring and objectifying abstract concepts in accordance with image schemas
