Effects of Phonetic Studies on Poetic Significance

Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 58, Issue 1

Abstract

Literary work consists of a series of sounds, phonemes, and semantic units, which is intended to affect feelings and excite emotions while conveying the meaning. We might call rhythm the basic level of this series of sounds. The rhythm of sound is the first stage of literary rhythm, which manifests itself in a form peculiar to it in repetitions and expressions of expectation in poetry, and in intonation of a word or where there is an indicator of intonation. There is a strong relationship between phonics and rhyme, they are like two sides of the same coin in terms of their service to the semantic field emerging behind a poem. So one should benefit from the sustenance of sound or from the sounds with no sustenance so that they serve the meaning. Rhyme consists of a few sounds repeated at the end of a couplet. And their repetition is an important element of poetical musicality. Rhymes are like musical interludes a listener expects to hear and enjoys the frequency behind the balanced syllables striking the ears at regular intervals. This way, the musicality of poetry becomes complete and mature in proportion to the repeated sounds.
