Description

Are bold and italic font styles used to convey emphasis in N’Ko, or are other approaches used? Is emphasis expressed by the language, rather than by decorating the text (eg. 'c'est moi qui l'ai fait' in French conveys the emphasis without need to italicise the 'moi')?

Research direction
