Emphasis in local speech? (6)
I believe the answer is:
accent
This clue could be a double definition.
'emphasis' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'local speech?' is the second definition.
'accent' can be an answer for 'speech?' (accent is a kind of speech). I'm unsure of the 'local' bit.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accent that I've seen before include "Stress, emphasis" , "Pronunciation in a locality" , "it could be grave" , "A diacritic mark" , "Special emphasis" .)
