description The present study intends to explore the phonemes that activate visual perception in reading three chapters of the Holy Quran. The aim is to incorporate the usage-based approach in phonological analysis of more contextually informed measures. The premise is that visual perception emerges out of distinctive usage patterns of parts of speech that share distinctive phonemic categories and sound meaning. The data demonstrated the linguistic structure of the chapters followed a scheme of contrastive network of specific phonemic categories that were salient for morphemic functions and sound-meaning associations. It was observed that the scheme was induced from the dominance of the voiceless category in forming content words that reiterated the descriptive type of these texts. The phonemic properties of this category led to visual perception. The variation of frequencies indicated the usage of top phonemes for prosodic features, morphemic functions, and sound-symbolism association. It is hoped that realizing the minute units composing the context of the chapters gives reading a new perception.
