- Ladies and gentlemen, I am Olga, your academic guide.
Let’s talk about emphasis in writing.
When there is an important idea, it should be expressed with emphasis.
There may be emphatic sentences: short sentences or sentence fragments, inverted sentences, parallel constructions and balanced sentences, periodic sentences, imperative and exclamatory sentences, rhetorical questions, negative-positive statements, sentences with repeated words or phrases.
There may be emphasis within the sentence achieved by placing an emphatic word or phrase in the beginning or at the end of a sentence, repetition, using verbs in the active voice instead of passive voice, using subordination, emphatic words and phrases, or alliteration.
Improve your skills, and see you tomorrow.
