Abstract
In this article, we have examined conceptual metaphors that are constructed using body parts from a cognitive perspective. To this end, we first define conceptual metaphor and its difference from the tradition of metaphor study, and then, within the framework of conceptual metaphor and conceptual schemas, we examine some conceptual metaphors containing body parts. The results of the research show that many conceptual metaphors are constructed using body parts - which are mainly used as the source domain - to explain abstract concepts. Also, due to the dominance of the religious culture that governs the Quran, the target domains are more related to religious concepts and Quranic teachings.
