The present study is not only the first comprehensive study about a Kurdish poet using Text World theory, but also the first research of the formation of the location of the text world layer of Chair written by Shirko Bikas which has been done with the descriptive-analytic method and the aim of achieving the location of the text world of Chair based on Text World Theory. The data were selected and collected from Shirko’s work titled Chair. Examining the formation of the text world of Chair using world-building elements and function-advancing propositions showed that the text world of Chair is represented through place names, and in the absence of place names, through the world-building elements of time and character. Also, one part of the representation of the location of the text world of Chair is obtained through the verbal phrases of function-advancing propositions. In addition, the representation of location in the text world of Chair provided cognitive-poetic evidence to support Shirko’s claim that location and names cover a wide range of her works.

Motion is an event and mental schema that one experiences from birth and has a universal meaning. This study aimed at investigating the motion event in Kalhori Kurdish dialect based on the Talmy's Lexicalized Patterns Model. To this end, the typological position of Kalhori Kurdish was examined and analyzed based on lexicalized patterns. The study is a descriptive-analytic study. One hundred and thirty motive verbs were collected through interview with Kurdish speakers. The authenticity of the verbs was confirmed by native speakers. The results showed that Kalhori Kurdish uses six conflation patterns, among which the patterns of Motion+Path and Motion+Co-Event have the most applied frequencies, and the other patterns used in this dialect, respectively, the pattern of motion, pattern of Motion+Co-Event+Figure, pattern of Motion+Path+Figure, pattern of Motion+Path+Co-Event have from the lowest to highest frequencies among the patterns. The results also indicate that in this Kurdish dialect, the current construction of verbs, both simple and non-simple, does not follow Talmy's Dual Typology, but the motive verbs in this dialect are both path like and manner like a way that it is part of equipollently-framed language.
