| Abstract | The ubiquitous Metaphor! The Queen of Tropes! This has perhaps been THE most discussed figure of speech or rhetoric device throughout the history of rhetorical analysis. It may be understood in a general way as the term for a great many figures of speech, or it may be used in a more restricted manner, as in this chapter. It thus examines Kāshifī's understanding of this seminal poetical image, and next observe him at work, putting the theory into practice, by analysing several random examples from the Anvār, according to present-day theories. In the light of this analysis, the chapter argues that Kashifi, although careful to retain the classical view on the metaphor as a Simple Replacement Metaphor, was also aware of the Genitive Link Metaphor and made a point of including this in his discussion of the trope. Keywords:Anvār; genitive link metaphor; Kāshifī; simple replacement metaphor; trope |
