Fronting is a linguistic term for moving a word or phrase from its usual position within a clause to the front of the sentence, typically to create emphasis, focus, or contrast. In syntax, it often involves bringing objects, adverbs, or prepositional phrases to initial position, as in “This book, I really like.” In phonology, fronting can also refer to a sound change where a vowel or consonant is articulated further toward the front of the mouth. The concept is widely used in the analysis of information structure, discourse, and language variation across many languages.
