A stronger kind of linkage is by ‘marker’: ‘men and women’ with the marker ‘and’: Japanese / anata no tomodati / “your friend” with marker /no/. Earlier sections have supplied many examples of this, as also of linkage by ‘impure marker’: ‘on’ in ‘the pencil on the table’; ‘if’ in ‘I’ll go with you if you like’. - Hockett (1958), a pag.214
