| Abstract | ||
| Communication may be hindered due to errors regarding emphasis . As such, it is the duty of the language user ( speaker or writer ) to reveal the emphasis he wants in a way that helps avoid errors and ambiguity . Both Arabic and English employ emphasis to achieve the same functions , particularly removing ambiguity out of the discourse. However , the lexical items and linguistic devices that the two languages employ to express emphasis are sometimes different and sometimes similar but differently used . This study aims at specifying , examining and functionally explicating the modes of emphasis in Standard English ( SE henceforth ) and Modern Standard Arabic ( MSA henceforth) . Then , the similarities and differences of modes of emphasis in both languages are highlighted . The analysis and comparison of modes of emphasis in the two languages are made according to the model of Halliday's theory . This study could be a contribution to the disciplines of contrastive linguistics , error analysis , discourse analysis and pragmatics ( in relation to the functions of language ) , stylistics ( because emphasis is a stylistic device in the first place ) and translation (since it deals with emphasis across two languages ). | ||
