As an important theory in linguistics, Markedness theory is closely related to the effect of foreign language learning. It states that the difficulties in foreign language learning and the places where first language transfer occurs could be predicted with the help of markedness. This essay first introduces the markedness theory and its development, and then discusses the relationship between markedness theory and native language transfer, holding the view that markedness is the fundamental cause to some errors found in students’ writings, and in this way offering some valuable help to English teaching and learning.
