If by Tolkien using this trope you mean his capitalization of, say, Men, Elves or Dwarves, those are meant to denote races. Like you spell Asian or Caucasian or whatnot with caps in the real world. And when it\'s not races it\'s names or titles (say, the Mouth of Sauron).
Notice that the tengwar and cirth (the alphabets that exist in-universe) \'\'\'don\'t\'\'\' have capitals, meaning that those capitals came up in Tolkien\'s translation of the original Westron text (in the metafiction set out in Appendix E of [=LotR=]). That is, the English language demanded those capitals.
PD: Okay, I somehow got a huge mindfuck. How could I forget the One Ring? (Well, probably because lately I\'m more into the Silmarillion than [=LotR=] in itself.) Nevermind me.
