The notion of markedness has played an important role in the explanation of some linguistic expressions. This is true of the syntactic or semantic asymmetrical relation. For example, voiced consonants are more marked than voiceless ones from a typological perspective. However, recent studies show that more is needed to provide an insightful explanation to the same asymmetrical structures. For this purpose, the present paper draws on the form-function interactional model to complement the binary distinction by the notion of markedness. To justify our position, we exemplify various linguistic expressions such as phonological contrast, morpho-syntactic variation and discoursal transfer in the study of second language acquisition. In doing so, it is argued that the revised explanation takes a step toward the understanding of how markedness in linguistics may work in terms of the distinction between form and function, sharpening the description of the marked structures.
