| In recent years, researchers in second-language acquisition have begun to consider the application of linguistic markedness theory to aspects of second-language learning. |
|
| The notion of markedness was first developed in Prague school phonology but was subsequently extended to morphology and syntax. |
|
| The markedness of each object on the respective constructs is assessed herewith. |
|
| There is also a more abstract sense of markedness, which is independent of the presence or absence of an overt feature or affix. |
|
| The commonest form of markedness constraint is some version of the claim that, at least in internally motivated change, more marked structures will become less marked. |
|
| It's the Indo-European system of markedness. |
|
| The form of the hierarchies makes predictions concerning acquisition, markedness and language change. |
|
| Central these is the markedness of the letter or symbol as a porcelain or Plexiglas object or as a graphic mark. |
|
| The principle of markedness, understood in this more general or more abstract sense, came to be quite widely accepted by linguists of many different schools, and it was applied at all levels of linguistic analysis. |
|
| In this case, the StP structure is often associated with topicality, but it is not marked for it, since markedness depends on the existence of a structural opposition. |
|
| Emergent ranking of faithfulness explains markedness and licensing by cue. |
