Are there particles for showing emphasis?

In English, we use a stronger voice to show emphasis in sentences
like:

"The *dog* bit the postman."

"The dog bit the *postman*."

"The dog *bit* the postman."

How does one indicate emphasis?  By word order or what?

Well, word order helps, but the exact analog of stess is {ba'e} before the word emphasized.
