| Phono-semantics is one of the basic fields of study in linguistics that examines the relationship between phonetic and semantic variables. With the special melody they give to words, sounds play an important role in conveying the message of a text. Therefore, considering the relationship between sound and meaning is among the new scientific researches and is a suitable tool for semantic studies of the holy Quran. This motive made the researchers examine the phonetic-semantic relationship in Surah al-Anbiya using the analytical-descriptive method. In this study, while considering contexts as a criterion, carrying out a phono-semantic evaluation of the verses and key words in each context and discovering the main themes of the contexts and the central theme of the Surah, it was found that the central theme of Surah al-Anbiya is rububiat and man, the central theme of each context is closely related to this central theme, and this connection fulfills the purpose of the Surah, which is to correct human vision and action with regard to the lordship of God. A close inspection of the inherent attributes of the letters in the words of the key verses of each context indicates that the fast and sharp tone, similar to that of Meccan surahs, is the dominant tone in Surah al-Anbiya, but in some contexts the tone is soft because explanation, reminder and the correction of the vision and action of disbelievers and polytheists require a sharp tone, but explication and confirmation of the vision and action of the righteous servants and God’s way of dealing with them need a soft tone. Phono-semantics in Surah al-Anbiya indicates that there is perfect harmony between the words and sounds and the main theme and message of Surah al-Anbiya. |
