Crossword Genius

Emphasis on pronunciation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accent

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'emphasis' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'pronunciation' is the second definition.
(accent is a kind of pronunciation)

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for accent that I've seen before include "Emphasis; mark on a letter" , "Distinctive local way of speaking" , "Mark to modify letter" , "Distinctive manner of oral expression" , "Distinctive way of talking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
