A Linguistic and Applied Analysis of Literary Work in accordance with Various Linguistic Methodologies and Phenomena: A Phonetic Acoustic Study of the "Bahr Al-Raml" Muwashah (Jadak Al-Ghayth) as a model

Abstract

Objectives: This study explores the fusion of linguistics and literary analysis by utilizing linguistic methods to examine poetic elements in the Muwashah "Jadak al-Ghaith" via the Praat program. It investigates phonetic phenomena like spectrographic patterns of poetic meters, intonation, sound density, intensity, pitch, characteristics, pauses, and fluctuations within the text. The objective is to enhance our comprehension of literary texts from diverse linguistic perspectives and equip literary critics and scholars with objective tools.

Method: The study defines the concept of linguistics in the context of literary analysis and the methodologies used in literary analysis, such as descriptive and applied approaches, integrating them to analyze literary texts according to linguistic phenomena studied using the Praat program. This involves analyzing these phenomena acoustically, starting from importing the audio file, selecting the segments to be analyzed, and interpreting the extracted results.

Results: The results of acoustic and spectrographic analysis unveil sound duration's rhythmic impact, elucidating text meanings and highlighting repetitive prosodic features' effects. They also illustrate the influence of sounds' articulation on rhythm and auditory effect, frequency variation's impact on the poetic meter, textual coherence, harmony, pitch, intensity, sound density, and vocal breaks.

Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of linking linguistics with literary analysis through the application of linguistic methodologies to literary works, focusing on the study of phonetic linguistic phenomena. The results indicate the significance of acoustic and spectrographic analysis in understanding various aspects of literary texts.
