The application of "حرث" to women in verse 223 of Surah Al-Baqarah brings up the issue of objectification of women and instrumentalization of them for the interests of men; Because based on the appearance of " نسائکم حرثٌ لکم...", it is addressed to men that women are your fields. The idea that a woman is a parasite of a man from the view of Islam is incompatible with many evidences in Islam that emphasize the high dignity of women and consider their piety as the only criterion of human superiority between men and women. the question is to examine the point of view of lexicographers and commentators, This research considers the creation of the mentioned doubt to be due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of rhetorical points, the eloquent simile in Qur'an, which can be defended not only by using ancient literary perspectives, but also from the perspective of modern semantics. it is approved and admired in a favorable way. Because from this simile, prominent concepts such as the position and vital role of women in the survival and growth of the human race and the necessity of a man's special attention to her are learned scholarly.

There is a main problem in understanding of "Divine Khazain" (Divine Treasury): how can imagine objects in the KHAZAYIN ( Treasury) nearby the God. Material KHazain (physical treasury) is a place of objects like treasure and worth; nevertheless, God is everlasting and limitless. In the term of reason and not justification, can use the conceptual blending theory; critical use of this theory shows that among remaking of some functions can activate the mental space of "divine" which is correlates with Quranic discourse. Based on the Almizan (bu allameh Tabatabaie) interpretation, Emerge of creative meanings in the blended space reflects a new construe: relation between Divine Khazain and objects are as same as the relation between limitless and limited; hence, we can predicate Khazain ( Treasury) to Divine Khazain (Divine Treasury); yet, the container and the content can be consider the same. key words: Quran karim, Quranic discourse, cognitive semantics, conceptual blending

Analyzing meanings on the basis of conceptual metaphors is a rather new approach in cognitive semantics. The authors of the present essay claim that Zamakhshari's explanations about the senses of prepositions show methodological and conceptual resemblance to the conceptual metaphor theory. In this research we aim to find out: 1. Dozamakhshari's explanations about the senses of علی follow a unified framework? 2. Does this framework show resemblance to conceptual metaphor theory? 3. Does analyzing the senses of prepositions employing the conceptual metaphor theory have contributions for the semantics of prepositions? To answer these questions the interpretations of twelve verses in which the preposition علیis used were analyzed on the basis of Kashshaf. Consequently we found out that Zamakhshari's explanations about the senses ofعلی in those verses showed theoretical uniformity and methodological and conceptual resemblance to the conceptual metaphor theory.

Cognitive semantics is the latest and at the same time the most prominent view among contemporary semantics theories which have been developed during the past four decades. This theory is so important that has drawn the attentions of different thinkers. What are the basics and the components of this theory? Can this view be seen as a justified paradigm in linguistics and semantics answerable to the problems of the domain of language and meaning? It is also important for Muslim scholars to see whether this theory can be an expressive and firm framework in reading the concepts of the Qur'an and the semantics of its educations. This paper, developed by analytical-comparative method, attempts to answer the above questions. The author, while reviewing the main elements of the theory of cognitive semantics, examines them particularly in the scientific philosophy perspective, and then measures the power and the capacity of this theory in representing the culture of the Holy Quran and its semantic realms
