Utterance-level eloquence requires individually sound words combined so that the result is acceptable in pronunciation, syntax, and communication of the intended meaning.
Key results:
1. Discord among words concerns a burdensome combined sound sequence.
2. Defective construction departs from established grammar.
3. Verbal taʿqīd hides the intended meaning through displacement and separation.
4. Semantic taʿqīd makes the intended sense remote through figurative expression.
5. All the component words must also be eloquent in themselves.
