Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the metaphorical language that novelist Umaira employed in her distinctive novel Hum Kahan Ke Sachy Thy. The intellectual, conceptual, connotative, and symbolic concepts that readers must explain to understand the intended meanings of these terms comprise the basis of any metaphorical statement. Metaphors are important linguistic strategies that are completely integrated into literary and linguistic terms to enhance their symbolic and suggestive meanings. The researcher selected four texts from the Urdu novel ‘Hum Kahan Ke Sachy Thy’, which represent all aspects of the metaphor. The researcher employed a model of Lakoff and Johnson's Theory of Metaphor (1980) to address each aspect of the metaphor that was employed in the novel. Based on this adopted model to study the aspects of metaphor, two levels of analysis are pursued: contextual analysis and cognitive linguistic analysis. Individual thoughts and symbolism were found to be expressed through the use of metaphors as a type of rhetorical device.
