Foregrounding is a literary technique that draws attention to certain aspects of a text by giving them prominence or emphasis. This can be achieved through techniques like repetition, contrast, or unusual syntax to make those elements stand out from the rest of the text. By foregrounding specific aspects, authors can create layers of meaning and enhance the overall impact of their work.

Foregrounding in poetry involves bringing attention to certain elements like imagery, sound, or language patterns through deviation from normal linguistic conventions.

Together, these techniques help poets create unique and impactful poetic experiences for their readers.
What is foregrounding on interpersonal communication?
This dimension of Jeoffrey Leech is the only literary feature which generally dominates the literary writing. It is claimed that foregrounding is a basic principle of aesthetic communication. It is defined as a conscious or deliberate deviation from the rules of language code or from the accepted conventions of its use which stands out against a background of a normal usage. Leech, in his analysis, says that Thomas uses one of the semantic stylistic devices, that is, metaphor (semantic oddity) in which the linguistic form is given something than its normal or literal interpretation.
