A phonetic stylistic review of Imam Ali's condemnations in Nahj al-Balaghah

Phonetic research is one level in stylistic science in which the researcher tries to examine the phonetic structure by viewing some phenomena such as different sounds, repetitions, songs, and phonetic structure.
The present study used a descriptive-analytic method to examineImam Ali 's condemnations by using a phonetic stylistic that includes phonetic components such as repetition, amplification of vocals, rejoicing and song regarding some examples gathered fromsome of his sermons and wisdom and letters. The purpose of "Etab"in the words of Imam Ali (AS) is condemnations.
The findings of this study showed that Imam Ali created a rhythmical situation toinfluence the audience, and sometimes he spoke with an accompanying song, to express the intensity of reprimand and condemnation.He sometimes condemned his critique with whimsical and slow sounds to showthe grief and pain in his chest.
This study found the power of communication and harmony between word and voice to express the type of condemnation. First, Imam viewed the audience who was supposed to be condemned then he useddifferent phrases to condemn him regarding that person's situations. The rhyme in the words of Imam (AS) is related to meaning, therefore, when Imam Ali insisted on the meaning he followed rhyme elements too.
