Previous literature either penned down the philosophical and mystic attributes
of Ghani Khan’s poetry, or the literary qualities of his poetry, but perhaps no
study has undertaken cognitive linguistic analysis of his poetry. The present
paper attempts to carry out cognitive semantic study of the concepts of life and
death in Ghani Khan’s poetry from cognitive linguistic perspective. Conceptual
metaphor theory will be used to analyze the poetic language of Ghani Khan’s
Kulyat in order to find out the conceptual schemas, which are used in
description of life and death in his poetry. This theory holds that everyday
language as well as poetic language is generated, processed and comprehended
by the conceptual metaphors in human conceptual system.The analysis shows
that Ghani Khan has used ten (10) key conceptual metaphors in description of
life and death with slight cultural deviations in nine poems on the titles of life
and death. This paper has also found that since Ghani Khan has used the key
conceptual metaphor of LIFE IS A DAY, he has also used LIFE IS TWO DAYS
drawing upon the conceptualization of life in Pukhtun culture. This paper finds
that the figurative language in Ghani Khan’s poetry is based on the conceptual
metaphors, and it recommends further research on Pashto everyday language
and poetry from cognitive-linguistic and cognitive-semantic perspectives in
order to validate the various tenets of conceptual metaphor theory through
cross-cultural research .
