Markedness, markedness inversion, and dependency phonology
Australian Journal of Linguistics, 1991One of the basic assumptions of dependency phonology is that the notation should encode the markedness values of segments, systems, and processes.

Edna Andrews clarifies and extends the work of Roman Jakobson to develop a theory of invariants in language by distinguishing between general and contextual meaning in morphology and semantics. Markedness theory, as Jakobson conceived it, is a qualitative theory of oppositional binary relations. Andrews shows how markedness theory enables a linguist to

'Markedness' refers to the tendency of languages to show a preference for particular structures or sounds. This bias towards 'marked' elements is consistent within and across languages, and tells us a great deal about what languages can and cannot do. This pioneering study presents a groundbreaking theory of markedness in phonology.

Abstract The Greek philosopher Democritus proposed that matter was made up of units he called atoms, units he could not see but which he believed explained the properties of matter: Democritus was ridiculed for his ideas, yet today every chemistry student knows that Democritus was right.

HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory, 2016
For students at elite US liberal arts colleges, symbolic capital accrues to their association with the institution itself, and for racially unmarked (white) students, symbolic capital can also accrue to other, informal associations with such institutions, such as friend and family ties or social fraternities.

In the studies of opposite pairings, the saying that some opposite pairs have one member as unmarked and the other marked “covers a number of disparate and independent phenomena” (Lyons 1977: 305). A lot of work has been done on selecting criteria for determining the unmarked/marked members (e.g., Lehrer 1985).

Language, 1972
The thesis of this paper is that explanation in linguistics must refer to a deductively formulated theory of language couched in terms of semiotic universals. A theory of this kind, utilizing complementarity and markedness as formal universals, is developed and applied as the explanans of linguistic phenomena from Russian, Spanish, English, and Old ...

This paper presents an account of the interpretation of unmarked verb forms in which the entries of unmarked forms are uniformly unspecified for agreement features. The entries of impersonal verbs directly sanction agreement‐neutral syntagmatic structures.

What markedness marks: the markedness problem with direct objects
Lingua, 2004Abstract This paper discusses a number of problems associated with the widely accepted analysis of differential object marking (DOM) as reflecting the semantic markedness of highly individuated (definite and/or animate) direct objects. Firstly, such an account is in conflict with established notions of transitivity which take a typical object to be ...
