| Abstract | ||
| This paper examines how sound elements are used in certain religious writings by looking at phono-stylistics, which is a study of sound patterns in language. The aim of the study is to find common sound elements in religious writings and to explore their important roles in such contexts. The data is limited to selected verses from both Holy Quran and Bible. It is suggested that the chosen verses from the Holy Quran contain more phono-stylistic features compared to those from the Bible. In this study, qualitative research design will be adopted. The researcher will follow Leech (1969)'s model. It has been noticed that sound elements in religious writings fulfill different purposes within culture and human life. Hence, sound devices are able to create a sense of rhythm, melody, and coherence that attracts the reader or listener. | ||
