Actually, Stock Phrase territory is closer. These don't have anything in common other than emphasizing a word.
Is there anything along the lines of "Emphasizing the Noun Marker"?
as in "Get me a horse, ANY horse!" "I don't want just any woman, I want THAT one." "You may be a moron, but you're MY moron." "That's not just some butt, that's YOUR butt!" "Well, we were watching the kid-" "you mean MY kid?!" "She's a grandmaster... nay, THE grandmaster!"
