Discrimination of the relationship between emphasis and focus,emphasis and mirativity
The grammatical categories of emphasis,focus,and mirativity each convey unique meanings while they are closely interconnected.Both emphasis and focus are designed to present new information,often overlapping in pragmatic functions and expressions.However,they differ in terms of stance or per-spective,degree of subjectivity,and the source of their categorical meanings.Furthermore,emphasis and mirativity frequently share the same linguistic forms,yet they differ in terms of categorical meaning,the scope of semantic objects,and the complexity of syntactic structures.These three categories,though distinct,are related in grammatical categories that share both connections and differences in linguistic form and grammatical meaning,which are not equivalent or interchangeable.
