Literary Creativity in Voices

An Exploration of Our Ancient Poetry

Abstract

This study examines the role of voice in the process of literary creativity and aims to focus on practical aspects. Phonological studies are considered a natural gateway to understanding literary texts, and some researchers have explored the relationship between sound and meaning. In this study, I sought to explore the role of various vocal groups in the creative process, such as whispered and murmured voices, loud and soft voices, vibrating voices, and whistling voices. By analyzing ancient poetic texts, I observed how ancient poets dealt with these voices and utilized them as a means of creative expression. The choice to study ancient poets and their works was intentional, as it allowed for a deeper understanding of the characteristics and features of their language. Despite the challenges faced in locating and selecting appropriate texts for analysis, this research shed light on the significance of understanding the role of voice in ancient poetry. It is hoped that this study will serve as a starting point for future applied research in the field of voice and literary texts.
