Answer 1

Answer 4

Emphasis means special importance given to something.

It is the EXTRA FORCE given to a word or phrase, especially in order to show that it is important.

It is a way of writing a word.such as UNDERLINING the word or expression to show that it is IMPORTANT.

In speech, the emphasis is placed on words or expressions by a STRESS on it.

Eg: "I can assure you," she added with emphasis, "the figures are correct."

Added with Emphasis' means 'continued to say giving the words / statement AN EXTRA FORCE.'

Answer 5

The phrase "emphasis added" is used when a writer is quoting someone else but wishes to draw special attention to part of the quotation. At the same time, it points out that the emphasis was not part of the original quotation.

For example, consider a work that quotes Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." The citation might read as follows:

Lincoln felt the need to stress America's commitment to freedom when he wrote that we were "a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" (emphasis added).

Unfortunately, those tags don't work here, but on an ordinary Web page you'd see "conceived in liberty" in italics; including "emphasis added" after the quote is meant to make it clear that it was this writer, and not Lincoln, who italicized the words "conceived in liberty."

Answer 6

If it's in a paper or document, it typically means that you have added emphasis to a word by either making it bold, underlying or adding italics. You want to draw the reader's attention to that word so you have emphasized it.

Hope that helps.

I should add that the words you are emphasizing came from someone else, or another source and is an original quote.

Answer 7

ok.. say John writes something and it's published.

I had three siamese cats that got stuck in my tree.

and then Max is writting an article and quotes John like this.

John "had THREE siamese cats that got stuck in (his) tree."

Max would say emphasis added to indicate that John didn't emphasize the number of cats in his original writing. Typically emphasis is given by using italics ( a sideways font style ) or bold lettering.

This convention is used out of respect for the original authors of work, so they are not misrepresented through altered quotations. It's bad enough that what is written can be taken out of context.

The habiru have been at this sort of thing whenever they have been in Palestine,whether 3500 B.B. or in our times. They also used a slow-motion approach and they still do.
