 * In dramatic contrast, then, to Diez, Meyer-Lübke leads his reader to the specific consonant phoneme as the smallest unit, or one of the smallest, of his construct, and he sides with Baist rather than with Diez in his choice of mode rather than locus of articulation for any classificatory purpose, explicit or implied (§ 405), while periodization is deëmphasized throughout.

 * Our thesis holds that these archaic impulses persist in the psychic dynamics of modern man and unconsciously urge him into the life-renewing act. To the prelogical, mythic mind this ritual confers integrity and prevents estrangement by deëmphasizing the ego level of the psyche.

 * This streamlining offers certain advantages; it also involves the drawback of deëmphasizing the – to the structuralist – all-important interplay between internal sound development, geared to trends of inner economy, and the enrichment of a phonic stock as a result of external pressure (ethnolinguistic contacts through peaceful diffusion or conquests).
 * 1962: High Fidelity, volume 12, issue 4, page 53 (Audiocom)
 * It is beyond the scope of our evaluation program to prove or disprove this theory, but this much seems certain: the Grado’s audible response is among the smoothest we have heard, and it seems particularly good at deëmphasizing record surface noise which shows up as short tone bursts that can become exaggerated with a cartridge whose high-end response is peaked or which lacks good transient ability.

 * Finally, while they cannot leave the Communist military alliance, the satellite régimes could, conceivably, if conditions were right, help to deëmphasize the military factor to a point where it would not stand in the way of at least a partial political rapproachement with some of their Western neighbors.
 * 1966: Robert C. Dale, Studies in French Literature, volume 14, “The Poetics of Prosper Mérimée”, page 98 (Mouton)
 * We have already mentioned Mérimée’s strong rejection of detail for detail’s sake; the above suggestion is an attempt to help Turgenev purge himself of that temptation through the adoption of an alternate prose form, one that would deëmphasize the need for detail that was so strong in the shorter genre preferred by both writers.

 * Another factor in greater or less success in foreign-language learning after childhood seems to be intelligence (162, 186, 210); W. does not explicitly deal with the question of why it must be a factor. Unlike W. (180), however, I am not ready to dismiss the possible existence of greater and less talent in the use of the mother tongue. The innatist hypothesis leads many of us to deëmphasize such differences.

 * Although M., unlike Sapir, deëmphasizes exoticism and again waives the privilege of charts and diagrams, he displays a virtuoso’s light touch in using plain words to describe complex situations […]
