《语言强调结构研究》针对语言研究和教学中常见的强调结构之特点及问题，用大量的跨语言实例，通过深入浅出地讨论有关语言通则，揭示了强调结构的规律，对习得和讲授强调结构，具有非常的指导作用。
功能语法对名词短语可用顺序的研究，过去主要针对定语从句，而忽视了强调句。《语言强调结构研究》就强调结构的分裂句提出三个原则：可强调顺序原则、名词性原则和主题性原则。可强调顺序原则将主语、直接宾语、间接宾语、介词宾语等依次排列，解释其可被强调程度。名词性原则除名词成分外，还适用非名词成分。主题性原则在涵盖前两者的基础上，还解释了状语的可强调性，从而最充分地描写和解释了强调结构。
《语言强调结构研究》无论在对学习英语等语言和教材编写的具体指导上还是语言理论研究上都在同类著作中独树一帜，创造性地填补了语言学习和研究的若干空白，特别是国内在多语种综合研究方面开创了先河。
《语言强调结构研究》适用于从事语言教学和研究的高校教师和从事语言学研究的科研人员，也可以作为语言专业的研究生和本科高年级学生的辅助教材，同时也可作为一般语言爱好者的参考书。
