You probably have seen these two terms in writing and have wondered the difference between them and when to use them. Both words are closely related to each other. But, what is the correct use for each one?
«Emphases» is the plural form of the word «emphasis.» We use «emphasis» when we name a single object. While «emphases» is used to refer to a list of things.
In this article, you will learn more about these words. We will talk about the origin of these words, what makes «emphases» the plural form of «emphasis.» We will see how they are similar to each other. Also, you will learn some other uses for this word. Before concluding, we will see some sample sentences using both terms.
Origin And Etymology Of Emphasis
The word emphasis comes from Latin and Greek. In Latin, the expression «emphasis» referred to the Greek word «emphainein,« which means «I show.»
The greek prefix «em-» could be translated to «in,» and the suffix «-phainein» means to exhibit.
Meaning Of The Word Emphasis
Emphasis is a variable noun. Some of its meanings include:
- To give importance to a particular activity.
- To draw people’s attention towards something.
Other Uses Of The Word Emphasis
Here are other uses of the word emphasis:
- We can use it in our speech when we want to give weight to something meaningful.
- People use it to express special attention to something in particular.
- We can use it in writing to highlight an important word. For example, when you use bold or italic.
- We refer to emphasis in phonetics to talk about the stressed syllable in words.
Emphasis Vs. Emphases: Phonetics
In both words, you will stress the first syllable. The main pronunciation difference between these words is the last vowel sound.
You will start with your mouth wide open to make the /e/ sound, the same vowel sound in the word «end.» Then you will close your lips to switch to the /m/ sound. After that, your lips move forward, placing your bottom lip in front of your teeth to pronounce the unvoiced /f/ sound. The next transition would be to the /s/ sound because the a is a schwa sound and doesn’t have any stress.
Here is where the difference occurs. To say «emphasis,» the «i» vowel sounds like a short /ɪ/, like the vowel sound in «it,» and you end with another /s/ sound.
To pronounce «emphases,» the «e» vowel sounds like a long /i/, just like the vowel sound in the word «bee,» and you end with another unvoiced /s/ sound.
