Layered Stylistics of Jihad Verses Based on Phono-Semantic Analysis(A Case Study of the Word of Jihad and Its Derivatives)

Layered stylistic is one of the structural and cognitive linguistic approaches that studies the various phonetic, lexical, syntactic, rhythmic and ideological layers to explain the hidden layers.The Holy Qur'an, as the only miracle text, has placed the phonetic layer and the letters' tune in its verses wondrously, which leads to the creation of beautiful and melodious verses for its audience.This delightful musical elegance has been revealed with a special luster in Jihad verses. In these verses, the arrangement and composition of the words which have rooted from Jihad along with the musical characteristics of the whisper and apparent letters have created special and fascinating phonetic effects in verses. The frequency of the phonemes used in these verses with the character of Jahr and Hams shows how the Holy Qur'an in a peaceful sphere with fluent melodies invites the Muslims to this (Jihad) divine duty.The present study with an analytical- descriptive method, based on the layered stylistics, studies the phono-semantic aspect of Jihad verses. The most important results show that phonetic and semantic congruence of letters and conceptual coordination of selected words have created beautiful images alongside hopeful tune, which remind the results of Jihad for the sake of God for any Muslim.
