¿Qué es el fronting en inglés?

El fronting es una técnica avanzada en la lengua inglesa que implica reordenar las palabras en una oración para enfatizar una parte específica de la misma. Este recurso puede hacer que la escritura sea más interesante y artística, y también se puede utilizar en el habla. Aunque es similar a la voz pasiva en cuanto a su función de resaltar ciertos aspectos, el fronting tiene características propias que lo hacen único.

¿Cómo se utiliza el fronting para enfatizar?

Para aplicar el fronting, basta con cambiar el orden habitual de las palabras, enfocándose en el elemento que se desea destacar. Aquí algunos ejemplos ilustrativos:

  • Fronting in English, you must practice. Este tipo de estructura, que recuerda al estilo de Yoda en Star Wars, transforma una oración que normalmente sería "You must practice fronting in English".

  • The meal was amazing, but even better was the service. Cambiamos la estructura de "The service was even better than the meal" para centrar la atención en el hecho de que el servicio fue incluso mejor que la comida.

  • This kind of problem we cannot ignore anymore. En lugar de decir "We cannot ignore this kind of problem anymore", se enfatiza el tipo de problema al situarlo al inicio de la oración.

  • Outside the theater was a long line of excited audience. En vez de simplemente describir "A long line of excited audience was outside the theater", el énfasis recae en la localización al frente de la oración.

  • React Native, I like more. Esta estructura permite centrar el interés en React Native, a diferencia de la orden convencional, "I like React Native more than JavaScript".

¿Cuándo es apropiado utilizar el fronting?

El fronting es un recurso poderoso, pero debe usarse con cautela. Aquí hay algunas recomendaciones sobre cuándo emplearlo:

  • Escritura académica: En ensayos o artículos donde el énfasis en puntos específicos es crucial.

  • Comunicación escrita: Para enriquecer la calidad estilística de textos, haciéndolos más atractivos y persuasivos.

  • Focalización en el habla diaria: Cuando se desea resaltar un punto en particular, aunque no debe abusarse de esta técnica para evitar confusiones.

Es fundamental recordar que el fronting es más efectivo cuando se utiliza en contextos donde el énfasis es necesario y significativo. Su empleo indiscriminado puede llevar a la confusión, por lo que es crucial usarlo de manera deliberada y consciente.

Ahora que conoces los secretos del fronting, ¿estás listo para implementar estos conocimientos en tu escritura y expresión verbal? Anímate a experimentar y descubre cómo puedes enriquecer tus habilidades comunicativas.
