Abstract

Language is the most important medium for communication among human beings to express their intensions and concepts ; and all languages possess one or more specific styles through which the author(s) can influence the addressee's and audience's souls and minds. Accordingly , connoisseurs of oration arena have propounded criteria and styles to assess speech value , and they have enumerated the Quran , as the superior and best paradigm of this significant affair ; and they have regarded all styles applied in it as the high paradigm of fluency and eloquence to which man's thought and meditation is not able to access .
One of the considerable styles in the Quranic verses is that of emphasis which has been expressed at the peak of expressiveness and beauty ; and in this paper we are going to deal with the rhetorical aspects of this style .

Key words : emphasis , rhetoric , verbiage ,Quranic style.
