Basically, a gene is used to build a protein in a two-step process: 1  Step 1: transcription! Here, the DNA sequence of a gene is rewritten in the form of RNA. 2  Step 2: translation! In this stage, the mRNA is decoded to build a protein (or a chunk/subunit of a protein) that contains a specific series of amino acids.
In linguistics, a marker is a free or bound morpheme that indicates the grammatical function of the marked word, phrase, or sentence.More characteristically, markers occur as clitics or inflectional affixes. In analytic languages and agglutinative languages, markers are generally easily distinguished.In fusional languages and polysynthetic languages, this is often not the case.or example, in Latin, a highly fusional language, the word amo (I love) is marked by suffix-o for indicative mood, active voice, first person, singular, present tense. Analytic languages tend to have a relatively limited number of markers. Markers should be distinguished from the linguistic concept of markedness.
There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as  all rights reserved ,  economical with the truth ,  kick the bucket , and the like.It may be a euphemism, a saying or proverb, a fixed expression, a figure of speech, etc.heorists of syntax differ in exactly what they regard as a phrase; however, it is usually required to be a constituent of a sentence, in that it must include all the dependents of the units that it contains.
