- Emphasis
- Emphasis is recognized across disciplines with a unified structural signature: rhetorical tradition from Aristotle onward; modern phonological and prosodic linguistics (Bolinger 1972, Halliday 1967, Selkirk 1995, Pierrehumbert 1980); graphic and typographic design (Bringhurst 2004, Tufte 2001); information-structure linguistics (Lambrecht 1994, Krifka 2008, Chafe 1976, Prince 1981, Vallduví 1992, Büring 2007); contemporary visual-hierarchy design (Müller 2018); and machine-learning computational formalization (Vaswani et al. 2017, Harris 2020, Cresswell 1973).
