Abstract

0. Introduction

One of the most interesting aspects of the Comparative Markedness (CM) theory is the unification of several phenomena traditionally thought to be unrelated. Grandfathering effects, Derived Environment Effects (DEEs), and counterfeeding opacity all turn out to be different facets of the same phenomenon, due to the presence of new and old markedness in the system.
