Marked
Marked is a term used in various fields, including mathematics, linguistics, and biology, to denote a distinguishing feature or characteristic. In a broader sense, it can also refer to something that has been noticed or observed.
Mathematics[edit | edit source]
In mathematics, a marked object is one that has been distinguished or labeled in some way. This can be used in a variety of contexts, such as in graph theory, where a marked graph is one in which certain vertices or edges have been singled out. Similarly, in set theory, a marked set is one in which certain elements have been distinguished.
Linguistics[edit | edit source]
In linguistics, markedness refers to the way in which certain forms or structures are more regular, neutral, or unmarked, while others are less so and are thus marked. This concept is used in various subfields of linguistics, including phonology, morphology, and syntax. For example, in English, the plural form of a noun is typically marked by the addition of an "-s" or "-es" suffix, while the singular form is unmarked.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In biology, marked can refer to an organism or cell that has been tagged or labeled in some way, often for the purposes of tracking or identification. This can be done using various methods, such as genetic marking, radioactive marking, or fluorescent marking. For example, in genetic marking, a specific gene may be inserted into an organism's DNA in order to make it identifiable under certain conditions.
