El realce: una propuesta para su conceptualización e identificación

Abstract

The elements highlighted in the texts have been approached from different theoretical perspectives within linguistics. In this article, after a critical review of different concepts that attempt to apprehend this phenomenon, we propose a new way to conceptualize and analyze (identify) the emphasis (realce). This is done from a perspective that considers: first, issuers are not conscious of all the linguistic and semiotic elements enunciated, secondly, not all linguistic and semiotic resource is associated with an individual(s) effect(s), and, thirdly, textual linguistic concepts should be applicable in multimodal texts and not exclusively on the verbal dimension. Finally, it emphasizes the need for further study to better delineate enhancement concept and make it more practical.
