Abstract
Concept metaphor, as a discourse in cognitive semantic studies, was first determinedly introduced by Lakoff and Johnson. The directional concept metaphor, among all metaphors of that sort, tends to be the basis of many linguistic phrases. the famous contemporary fiction writer, in Persian children's literature, Soosan Taghdis, has applied concept metaphors, in her works, from time to time, to infuse a great deal of ideas. In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, specifically, Directional Concept Metaphors will be closely studied in Taghdis's fiction. On the other hand, it shouldn't be neglected that a large number of oppositions/contrasts derive from the nation's myths and collective unconscious. Through the passage of time, These oppositions have been implanted in people's thoughts, transfixed into their culture and reflected in their language, by means of conceptual metaphors. Soosan Taghdis has also exploited this case in fiction, and has achieved successfully to teach and conceptualize, implicitly, vice and virtue, with the use of concept metaphors.
