Abstract

Abstract:
Stylistic studies look at the literary text as a homogeneous and coherent unit that we cannot isolate its parts from each other. In this study, Surah Yunus has been studied in terms of its Phonetics aspect, which is one of the most important issues in stylistic studies. This study aims at revealing the relationship between sound and meaning in this Surah and the extent of the cohesion and harmony between these sounds and their implications. This study was based on the statistical method in the distribution and analysis of the voices in the Surah. In this research, it was discovered that, in the Quran, the voices have been amazingly used. So, you can guess the meaning by the type of voices which is used in the verses. And it was found that this Surah has unity in terms of rhythm, and tends to present loud sounds. It was also repeated with a large number of clear voices such as soft and accent voices. This is common in the Arabic speech. In fact, the Surah has followed in this field of Arabic language structure. This rhythm in the Surah presents almost smooth and flexible rhythm, which is rarely seen its tones goes up or down except when necessary. The voices came in harmony with the content and purpose of the verses, so that their voices cannot be replaced by others, and the verse remains as it is a sign of significance and beauty.
