Markedness Theories

Más información sobre el libro

Markedness, a longstanding yet controversial concept in linguistics, is explored in relation to emotional language, a topic with less historical discourse. This seminar paper aims to bridge the gap between markedness theory and the expression of emotions, suggesting that markedness serves as an indicator of emotional intensity. The research highlights the scarcity of material connecting these two areas, positioning the paper as a significant contribution to the understanding of how linguistic structures can reflect emotional nuances.
