A Semantic - Stylistic Study in the Sermon “Jihad” (A study in the Lexical, Vocalic and Morphological Levels)

Stylistics as a distinctive linguistic method, on which based many linguistic studies, does not rely on only forms of words and phrases, but investigates the depth of hidden meanings and when it deals with language of text technically, it passes from simpler stage to deeper stage. These are attained by highlighting distinctive linguistic appearances and trying to connect appearances and their meanings through which can be found hidden meaning of text. The sermon “Jihad” due to having distinctive linguistic characteristics which are harmonious with context of the sermon, is one of the new sermons for semantic - stylistic studies. By using of statistical stylistic method, in this paper it is attempted to clarify hidden meanings behind lexical and stylistic appearances, and they are divided into three levels: lexical, vocalic and morphological levels. The most important results of the study are: in lexical level words and phrases are based on three semantic areas: 1. invitation to Jihad, 2. not to upriseKufans for Jihad, 3. to reproach Kufans by Imam; in vocalic level most of voices are middle and long ones and they are harmonious with context of the sermon which is appropriate to clarification, and repetition of some voices is fit to context; and in morphological level words have found semantic function, and at the beginning of the sermon they imply on exalting value of Jihad and finally on indignation of Imam (AS) towards Kufans.
