I'd do it like this:

\def\TR{\aftergroup \emphasiscorrection\it}

see the examples:

\def\TR{\aftergroup \/\it}
\startlines
{\it this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}, right?
\def\TR{\aftergroup \emphasiscorrection\it}
{\TR this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}, right?
\stoplines


But I bet that there is a more clever way.
