Emphatic Word Placement (Michelle Squires)
Emphatic Word Placement Should Either Be at the End or the Beginning of a Sentence. My interpretation of the ‘emphatic word placement’ rule is as follows. Placing emphasis at the beginning of a sentence:
a. Faithfulness and honesty he admires.
b. Cheating and Lying I cannot excuse.
The emphasis here is placed on the words at the beginning of the sentences.
Placing emphasis at the end of a sentence:
a. He admires faithfulness and honesty.
b. I cannot excuse cheating and lying.
The emphasis here is placed on the words at the end of the sentences.
*Both of these examples allow readers to emphasis the same words and both are powerful ways in which to influence writing where style is concerned.
