Abstract

Stylistics is one of the new sciences that has achieved unprecedented growth and development in the contemporary century, especially in the last fifty years. It is divided into several branches, some of which, including layered stylistics, are closely related to literary criticism and grammar. Stylistics helps to recognize the personal and innovative views and methods of an author in a particular period and plays an important role in the analysis of texts. Based on this, the present study intends to study the salient features of Surah Anfal in three phonetic, lexical and syntactic layers using analytical-descriptive method to show the message and content of the verses by using the appropriate variables of each layer.
