I have never heard of such a thing until the current thread. Let me ask a question, the only way I can learn from you guys on B-Greek. What exactly constitutes "marked," what are the indicators of "markedness?" I guess I am asking for a definition. Now from what you said there is a rather complicated theory involved so please if it is possible, keep it basic for someone whose understanding of greek is rather basic!<br><br>Is it possible to deduce anyhting from the text from based upon markedness and unmarkednes, and to what extent can markedness and unmarkness be helpful in exegesis?
