Cognitive representation of "anti-values" in Quranic discourse centered on volumetric schema

In the cognitive field, "volumetric schema", the most frequent type of pictorial schema with experimental features in the structure of "protection", "limitation", "mastery" and "spatial stability", provides recognition of abstract concepts with the spatial organization. Volumetric images, with objective categorization, represent the intellectual origin and serious intention of the creator of the text. In the Qur'anic discourse, the cognitive and metaphorical attitude based on spiritual matters and especially anti-value traits is more objectified with the notion of "being-vessel", "inside and outside" and "occupying a part of the space". Based on the descriptive-analytical method, the present study analyzed the way of conceptualization of anti-value traits in the Quran by metaphorical projection and corresponding mapping of origin and destination in geometric space. In this way, this study answers the question, what frequency of semantic subtleties in the divine perspective does the location in these attributes refer to? The resulting attitudes are anti-values such as "appropriation of orphan's property", "satanism", "no donation", "doubt", "disbelief" and "hypocrisy" etc. that have been incarnated in an unpleasant volume like "fiery food", "place of destruction", "heavy load" "prisoner" and "thick covering" of the body, each of which according to the logical requirements of being a container, visualizes epistemological doctrines such as "extent of damage", "deviant function", "mastery", "restriction" etc. It should be noted that the use of such schemas in anti-values refers to the precise analysis of the size, shape, dimensions of their presence, and environmental function, and in this way prevents the interpreter or translator from referring to illogical and alternative expressions.
