Abstract

The Kurdish Shahnameh is one of the important and prominent works in the realm of Iranian and world epic literature.This work, apart from its epic and heroic dimensions and literary beauties, is a collection of human and social relationships that embody ancient Iranian society.The stories and events in this work each represent their own specific cultural concepts.The aim of this research is to examine the conceptualization of character relationships and the cultural value of the heroes' relationships in the stories. It also attempts to examine the role of conceptual symbols in language within the framework of cultural and social linguistics, including schemas, categories, and cultural metaphors.The analysis and examination of cultural and social norms and behaviors, including love, hatred, revenge, mourning, war, and battle, are among the notable topics in this research. The epic language of the Kurdish Shahnameh, which is in the Hawrami dialect, has a high capacity to display the power of language and words in social relationships.
