The English language uses the following means to make a word or a word-group prominent:
1) Using intonation in spoken language, prominent stress in word-group, or using bold type, italics, underlines, … can be used to express emphasis.
Eg: I have seen him. I have seen him lately.
2) A word or a word-group becomes emphatic when it is put in any abnormal position:
Eg:
Strangely fast fled his days in the valley.
Down, down they ski off the hill.
Foot steps, quick and light, mounted the stairs and went into the next room.
