An italized phrased looks like

\emph on
  phrase
\emph default

in a .lyx file. So 

   perl -pi -e 's: word :\n\\emph on\n word \n\\emph default\n:g' file.lyx

would modify file.lyx such that all occurences of 'word' will be
emphasized.

Be careful however and try a copy of your file first or use

   perl -p -e 's: word :\n\\emph on\n word \n\\emph default\n:g' file.lyx > file2.lyx
