Abstract
This study deals with the prototype theory of categorization from a cognitive perspective by applying it to the famous American ''Family Feud '' and Iraqi '' 'A'ialti Turbah" TV shows. It examines cognitive Linguistics and its main principles. The cognitive process of categorization enables people to classify events , information , and objects that they meet in their region . It is worth mentioning that the current study is a new trend in analyzing the questions of the two shows by pointing the prototype and the factors or reasons that form the prototype. Hence , it aims at finding out the reasons or criteria that form the typical category member in different areas or countries. This study hypothesizes that prototypes formation process is influenced by the social contexts where prototypes are used . Prototypes are not one hundred percent agreed upon in a society. Each culture has its own prototype( the most representative member of a category) depending on different factors.
