Of the most interesting studies done in recent decades about metaphor are the researches done by cognitive semantics, among whom we can point to the works of layoff and Johnson. These studies that are subset of cognitive semantics studies can be used for a better understanding and analysis of the Holy Quran, the book that is a complex text with different concepts. The purpose of this paper is to examine general metaphor ” recipient” and its subset metaphor “ life journey” about worldly and otherworldly life in the Quran point of view. The main reason for the formation of general conceptual metaphor is empirical correlation between "get something" and "go to place" in the human experience.Purposeful worldly and otherworldly life in general is specific example of having purpose. Thus, the trip that is an attempt to reach a predetermined destination, in general, is a special case of reaching to destination. As a result, special metaphor of "life is journey" that is one of the most popular terms of Quran is a subset of the general metaphor of "purpose is destination". In the metaphor of "life journey”, the journey is donor and life is recipient that include a lot of characteristics such as the area of origin, passengers, destinations, obstacles and the stop. The cognitive function of conceptual metaphor, by using A field enables the speaker to understand B field structure. This perception will be formed by using conceptual adaptation of A and B elements.

One of the approaches considered in the study of the science of semiotics, intertextual studies reminiscent of texts interact with each other. This type of research is to explore and analyze the symptoms of the interface between the texts, the researcher also helps having a better understanding of the text, read it again to achieve.Through the study seeks to identify and analyze the analytical method and the effect of the Qur' an refers to the content of the prayer books of Imam Sajjad (AS) as a precious legacy of their Shia. After presenting the theoretical reason, to analyze the text of the Qur' an as intertextual text books with missing text, is discussed. Research findings suggest that the interaction, rather a parallelogram and negation of negation part and only in rare cases, it is used in a general denial. There are so inextricably Quran and the sayings of Imam (AS), in addition to the words of the Quran, the interactive consciously, in many instances, the content of the verses have also benefited.

Part of the Quran's miracle is allocated to literary and artistic aesthetic aspects of the text, something that has always been debated over by the scholars of the Quranic eloquence. A few of them like extremist textualists only pay attention to the apparent layer of the Quranic words and deny existence of any concepts such as comparison, metaphors, trope, allusion, ... In the Quran. And some others like extremist interpreters denying the apparent and explicit meanings of Quranic words they even try to interpret the indisputable verses with bright and explicit sense. Among the Farsi poets, Naserkhosrow and Mowlana because of their tendency towards interpretation, they believe in the existence of trophy and metaphoric language in the Quran and regard it as the eloquence miracle of the Quran. In the area of eloquence of the Quran fundamental question is that, whether accepting the existence of trophy and metaphors in the Quran would harm the holy stance of word of God? And why have some scholars denied the existence of tropic language in the Quran.Among the Quranic verses, the most eminent verse which indicates a kind of exaggeration is the verse 40 of Sura Aaraf. The study of different views of commentators in the explanation of this verse and the penetration of some of Arab's parables in Quran for explanation of exalted concepts' require a transtetxtual study. This research following presenting an overall picture of the subject and explanation of different views and thoughts, answer these questions and show the transtextauly analysis on the mentioned verse.

The translation of the Quran as the Muslims' sacred book has always been in the spotlight and many translators have tried to present a beautiful, appropriate, literal and in harmony with Persian language structures.However, there are few translations which include such features. The present study using an analytical comparative study tries to analyze the four Farsi translations of Ayati, Qumsheie, Ansariyan and Brujerdi and to investigate Farsi equivalences of the Adverbial structures used in the Quran as reflected in these four translations. According to the findings of this study, it was clarified that all these four translations include some defects and deficiencies and sometimes they have had problems in identifying the adverbial structures used in the Quran and as a result have wrongly translated the structure. Such problems have caused a bizarre translation or failure in conveying the propermeaning.

Theory of text cohesion is one of the topics of functionalist linguistics. This theory surveys cohesion devices. Halliday and Hasan offered the pattern of this theory, and divided cohesion devices into three parts: Lexical, Grammatical, conjunctive. Each of these devices can be divided into several parts. Their presence in text Causes cohesion and Relevance of its Components.This paper tries by using descriptive and analytical methods to study the cohesion of the Noah's chapter. Devices cohesion in the Noah's chapter are three sections, First: lexical, this device include repetition and collocation.Second: Grammatical, This device has been used as a reference and substitution and ellipsis. Third: conjunctive that has been used in two types Additive and Temporal. Lexical device has maximum Frequency in Noah' s chapter then Grammatical and at the end conjunctive

Verbal economy is a matter available in all languages and refers to the application of the lowest physical and mental activity to transmit meaning and tenors. It is sometimes called "low attempt basis". Arabic language is one of those languages that features economy and Quran is one the best examples of brevity and selected talk and low attempt basis.This study aims at searching and studying manifestation of verbal economy in the last five parts of the Quran by descriptive- analysis method.The results of the study represents that Quran pays attention to all levels and verbal layers for reserving and rapid placing in minds and for communicating and low attempt basis in all levels and verbal layers. Quran also has pay attention to using vocals and it has used from words elimination power until the usage of the energy minds or physical minimized.

Exerting efforts to understand the meaning parallel to the understanding of syntactic relations among parts of speech indicates semantic functions of syntactic structures as clearly as possible. In the Holy Quran, a diverse range of verses with semantic and syntactic structures can be observed, which may cause that the audience think that there is no significant difference in semantic significations of these verses.Applying different states of negation in nominal sentences in Arabic with “, ”لیس“particles similar toلیس ", and “ لا نفی جنس ” are among these structures and interpretations which in spite of their apparent similarity, have different semantic significations. Using analytical and comparative approach to the context and interpretation of verses in which these particles are used, the present study tries to show that differences in these syntactic structures are not merely due to changes and stylistic variations in interpretation, but each of them has been used for fulfilling a purpose.
