Discourse Markedness and Structural Markedness

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1990
This study investigates second language acquisition of English noun phrases in discourse, examining the effect of discourse markedness and structural markedness on the development of noun phrase use. English L2 noun phrase forms are examined within three universal discourse contexts: current, known, and new reference to topics.

Markedness, markedness inversion, and dependency phonology

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

Markedness of Opposite

2013
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).

Markedness and frequency

Proceedings of the 9th conference on Computational linguistics -, 1982
When the markedness analysis is extended to the lexical and grammatical levels, the question arises whether an analogue of the markedness/frequency correlation, observed in phonology, also exists on these higher linguistic levels. This article presents evidence that in some interesting cases, such as tense and aspect forms in English, the correlation ...

Markedness

2006
'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.

Markedness — An Overview

1986
There is a relationship between the degree of our familiarity with things and the number of subdistinctions we can perceive among them. The better we know things the more we are able to detect secondary characteristics which assign them into sub-classes. This is widely illustrable perhaps from all areas of human perception.

Kinds of Markedness

1988
Markedness. under one conception or the other, has been a part of linguistics since the 1930s, when it was introduced by Troubetzkoy into phonological theory. The notion that it is involved in some intimate way with language acquisition can be traced back to Jakobson (1941), who, relating it primarily to phonology, developed a theory by which unmarked ...
