Foregrounding

It is part of a poetry form which describe the character in a normal form, and it is a opposite of backgrounding. It is the practive of making stand out form the surrounding words. "Foregrounding" means "to bring to the front." The term foregrounding has its origin with the Czech theorist Jan Mukarovsky. It is “the ‘throwing into relief’ of the linguistic sign against the background of the norms of ordinary language. The immediate effect of foregrounding is to make strange to achieve defamiliarisation. When used poetically, terms and groups of words remind a greater richness of images and feelings than if they were to occur in a talkative expression.

There are two main types of foregrounding: parallelism (grammar) and  deviation.  Parallelism can be described as unexpected regularity,  while deviation can be seen as unexpected irregularity.  As the definition of foregrounding indicates, these are relative concepts. Something can only be unexpectedly regular or irregular within a particular context. The first two are very similar (parallelism) and the third one starts out as similar, but our expectations are thwarted when it turns out different in end (deviation).
