<p><i>Marked</i> means the wording is noticeably odd in some way. <i>Emphasis</i>
means you are drawing attention or importance to a term. <i>Topic</i>
means you're telling what the sentence is all about.</p>
<p>Klingon <b>-'e'</b> serves as a topic marker in pronoun-as-to-be
sentences. It serves as an emphasis marker when placed on the
subject or object of a basic sentence or dependent clause. It
serves as a marker of the head noun of a relative clause. And it
serves as the marker of a topic noun standing on its own, but this
usage is said by Okrand to be marked — using it this way seems odd
to native speakers.<br>
