AESTHETIC AND SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF RHYTHMIC DEVICES IN RELIGIOUS SPEECH

Abstract

This article examines how religious speech traditions in Uzbek and English cultures employ rhythmic devices, including anaphora and alliteration. Using samples from Anglo-Catholic and Islamic sermons, the paper examines the aesthetic appeal and spiritual depth that these rhetorical techniques provide. Anaphora highlights important concepts through repetition, increasing listeners' emotional engagement, while alliteration enhances the speech's melodic quality and thematic clarity by fostering a feeling of phonetic harmony. The study demonstrates how these gadgets increase the connection between speaker and listener, promote moral reflection, and reinforce spiritual teachings by comparing comparable patterns of repeated sounds and sentences. In the end, the study demonstrates the ubiquitous ability of rhythmic expression to communicate spiritual and cultural value.
