CONT

On dit d'une unité linguistique qu'elle est marquée lorsqu'elle possède une particularité phonologique, morphologique, syntaxique ou sémantique qui l'oppose aux autres unités de même nature de la même langue. Cette unité marquée est alors le cas marqué d'une opposition binaire où le terme opposé, privé de cette particularité, est appelé non marqué.
