No matter the saying or writing of ours, it would be the requirement of whole social intercommunication. As the result what we really want to get, we need to think how to say , how to write and how to choose the exactly form what we use for a correct, clear and vivid way, to make listener understand what you are saying. Emphasis is one of functions in language, its regularity is complicated, and its grammar function displays in different language standard.As the way of "emphasis" displaying, this article seperates "emphasis" into "directly" and "connotative". And then it discusses and analyses emphasis methods in this angle.As same as "emphasis", "focus" is also working in the sentences. So if we want to know "emphasis" clearly, we need to get though with "focus" firstly then seperate them. We analyse the similar between "emphasis" and "focus", touch their own specifics deep inside, and make it become useful foundation of next part.The more details we search of sentence emphasis, the more clearly emphasis function adverbs we can see. Under this theory, author give a new concept as "emphasis adverb", for clarifying the adverb research chaos. At last, we study "emphasis" from pragmatics and syntax, find a different way from before, and sum up the whole passage.
