Definition:
Emphasis is used to suggest a meaning different from the
actual content of the proposition.
Examples:
- It would be illegal to give away
Free Beer!
- The first mate, seeking revenge on the captain, wrote in
his journal, "The Captain was sober today." (He suggests, by
his emphasis, that the Captain is usually drunk. From Copi,
p. 117)
