We frequently use «in particular» or «particularly» to highlight something specific or important.
You should control your emotions. In particular, you should take a deep breath and replace negative thoughts.

Both expressions have the same meaning, but they are used in different ways.
The phrase “in particular” can be used:
- to describe a noun (e.g., “All berries are healthy. I like blueberries in particular.”)
- to describe a whole clause (e.g., “In particular, I enjoy going out with my friend Tom.”)
The adverb “particularly” can be used:
- to describe a verb (e.g., “I particularly enjoy playing video games.”)
- to describe an adjective (e.g., “He is particularly tall.”)
- to describe another adverb (e.g., “She talked particularly slow.”)
You cannot use “particularly” to describe a noun.

2. When to Use a Comma After ‘In particular’
When using “in particular” to describe a noun, we do not generally use a comma to separate the expression “in particular” from the noun it describes.

When using “in particular” to describe an entire clause, typically in front position, we should set it off with commas.

At the beginning of a sentence, “in particular” should be preceded by a period or a semicolon.

Olivia likes flowers; in particular, she loves roses and orchids.
When describing a complete clause, the phrase “in particular” is a conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect two ideas or thoughts. They should be followed by a comma at the beginning of a sentence—and surrounded by commas in mid-sentence.

When describing an adjective or an adverb, «particularly» must come immediately before its adjective or adverb. We do not use a comma in this case.

The weather was particularly bad yesterday.
There are several options when using «particularly» to modify a verb. We can put the adverb near the verb, but we don’t have to. As a matter of fact, we can place it in different positions.
At the start of a sentence, the comma after «particularly» is optional.
Particularly, I hate having to answer personal questions.
Particularly I hate having to answer personal questions.
In mid-sentence, using a comma before or after «particularly» is generally unnecessary (and sometimes wrong).

Yes, you would maintain the inversion. The addition of an adverbial clause separated by a comma normally does little to change the rest of the sentence. At any rate, I have to say I would not start a sentence with in particular, nowhere… If you must use in particular there, you could recast the sentence.

Particularly and in particular are used in English when we want to highlight something important, or individual. Both uses of particular have the same meaning, but are used in different ways. We could also say in specific and specifically (which is more formal but has the same meaning).
In particular is an idiomatic phrase. It is used to indentify nouns specifically. These are nouns that are singled out (shown as individual) by the verb. It can be placed in the beginning, middle or end of a sentence, but is most common either at the start of the end of a phrase. When used at the beginning of a sentence, it should be separated by a comma.
For example:
- I like the blue shirt in particular.
- There are many beautiful towns in Sussex. In particular, tourists should visit Lewes and Arundel.
Particularly
Particularly is an adverb that can be used in much the same way, but it has a few different meanings. Particularly modifies a verb, adjective, adverb or preposition – essentially anything but the noun. It is used to say to an unusual degree. It works best placed before the word it modifies, but for verbs it can also come at the end of a phrase or clause.
- I particularly like the blue shirt. (I like the blue shirt more than the others.)
- We particularly want to see the pier. (We want to see it more than other locations.)
- They were particularly quiet this morning. (They were quieter than usual.)
Examples of uses to modify words:
- The ceiling is particularly high.
- It is particularly cold here in Winter.
- He runs particularly fast.
Often, particularly can also be used as an adverb in place of in particular to specify something individually. But in this case it is used relative to earlier details.
- The weather was bad this week, particularly on Wednesday.
…has the same meaning as:
- The weather was bad this week, on Wednesday in particular.
Here, used in a relative clause (one that works relating to the main clause), particularly means specifically or especially, and is essentially the same as in particular. But if we used it in the main clause, the meanings of the two phrases would differ:
- The weather was particularly bad this week. (The weather was worse than usual.)
- In particular, the weather was bad this week. (The weather was one thing that was specifically bad, amongst other things.)
Note, though, that in particular can never be used in place of particularly to modify verbs.
