WHAT DOES UNMARKED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Markedness

Markedness, a term which originated in linguistics, is the state of standing out as unusual or difficult in comparison to a more common or regular form. In a marked/unmarked relation, one term of an opposition is the broader, dominant one. The dominant default or minimum effort form is known as the 'unmarked' term and the other, secondary one is the 'marked' term. In other words, it is the characterization of a "normal" linguistic unit compared to the unit's possible "irregular" forms. For example, in English, irregular verbs are marked, while regular verbs are unmarked in comparison. In linguistics, markedness can apply, among others, phonological, grammatical, and semantic oppositions, defining them in terms of 'marked' and 'unmarked' oppositions like honest vs. dishonest. Marking may be purely semantic, or may be realized as extra morphology. The term derives from the 'marking' of a grammatical role with a suffix or other element, but has been extended to situations where there is no morphological distinction.
