الأثر الصوتي وانعدامه في وصل الكلمات القرآنية وفصلها

Abstract EN

This study aims to show phonetic effect in linking and separating Qur'anic words.

The linkage between Qur'anic words in Ottomanic graphic can be caused by the phonetic effect taking place between the last sound of the first word and the first sound of the next word, thus, the calligraphy is built on the vocal, and words may be separated when this phonetic sound exists between two words because its writer built the calligraphy on the source and some words may be separated in Quran without the existing of a contraction between them, but they may be separated in other cases.

Calligraphy scholars' justifications of linking words without existing of contraction are variant.

Sometimes, it was justified by the numerous utilisations, abbreviations and lightening, and sometimes, by taking into consideration cessation and beginning of the word.

Some other times, it is justified by the meaning or the grammatical case and the number of syllables of words may influence linking of two words and whenever the number of the word's syllables is low, it tends to be linked to others, reducing the number of units and letters may be a cause of linking of two words.
