This book presents a groundbreaking theory of markedness in phonology, the tendency of languages to show a preference for particular structures or sounds. Drawing on examples from a wide range of phonological phenomena, de Lacy argues that markedness is part of our linguistic competence, determined by conflicting mechanisms in the brain.
