FOREGROUNDING

Foregrounding is a common term which means a particular part or the scene which is nearest or in front of the audiences. This term has been taken from the paintings when an object from backgrounds brought in front to the limelight. It simply pushes the act of expression so that other elements draw attention. So that audience gets a chance to judge and focus on the art work rather than other things. It reveals the form of art other than hiding the stuff. It’s done by using elements of language and by using gamer mad patterns.

            Foregrounding theory must be applied and used in our daily life, so that the contributions, methodology, concept can be understood in a better way. And it also discovers a new and better way of understanding. There are two types of foregrounding: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative foregrounding is achieved by going beyond the set of patterns. It is just the practice of making something stand out from everything else. The term was first associated with Paul Garvin in 1960, was used it as a translation of Czech which means actualize, which has been borrowed from Prague School during 1930.

            Foregrounding is basically divided into two types: parallelism which is totally grammar and second one is deviation.

Let’s understand these terms one by one. Parallelism can be described as the unexpected regularity and deviation can be seen as unexpected irregularity. Both are the relative concepts, but sometimes something does can only be unexpected regularly or irregularly. The context or the concept can be lilt bit narrow like secondary element or even wider like a primary element. Even deviation is further divided into firstly most of the poems deviates from normal language i.e. primary deviation. Secondary deviation is the unexpectedly different from the rest of the worlds. Rhymes, slogans, adverts are parallelism as they constantly repeat. As parallelism can occur over longer texts itself. They often have three parts or elements in them, which were very similar to parallelism, constitute the two elements, whereas the third one is slightly similar. But the audience wants something unique or different which can be called as deviation.

            Foregrounding can take place in all languages. It’s generally used to show how important are the parts of text, or interpretation in one’s life.
