My daughter and I were discussing italics and inflection. The example she used was, "The cat in the hat."
Examples (in bold italics):
The cat in the hat. Implies a specific cat.
The cat in the hat. Implies the cat, as opposed to a horse or a dog.
The cat in the hat. Implies that it is in the hat not by it or on it.
The cat in the hat. Implies a specific hat.
The cat in the hat. Implies it's in a hat, not in a sweater or a dish.
