下面对自然度理论和标记性理论进行比较，对比两种理论中自然性标度和标记性的关系以及不同的价值观念，以便集中在自然性句法和标记性句法规则识别方面的最新进展。研究表明，尽管自然性理论对变异和变化的解释提供的依据很少，但标记性理论中的关键概念在解释共时变化以及解释变化的启动和实现方面发挥了核心作用。在对两种理论的总结比较中，作者认为标记理论在本质上包含了自然性理论。这就解释了为什么许多语言学家发现这两种理论是相似的，这表明未来它们将会统一。
The following comparison of Naturalness theory and Markedness theory contrasts naturalness scales and markedness relations and the distinct notions of value in the two theories in order to focus on recent advances in the identification of rules of naturalness syntax and markedness syntax. It is shown that whereas naturalness theory offers little basis for accounts of variation and change, key notions in markedness theory play a central role both in accounts of synchronic variation and in explanations of the initiation and actualization of change. In a concluding comparison of the two theories it is argued that Markedness theory in essential respects subsumes Naturalness theory. This explains why many linguists find the two theories kindred, and it suggests that the future will see their unification.
