Abstract: In the theory of cultural markedness, binary opposition is broken and the dynamic relations among oppositions are described by a “positive-middle item-negative” model, which is compatible with the Peircean semiotic trichotomy. Moreover, the “middle item” in this model, the boundary distinguishing the positive from the negative, is as multilingual as the boundaries of and within the semiosphere. It is argued that the theory of cultural markedness is one of ontological dialogism, that is, there are substantial dialogic relations between the positive and negative, and such a dialogic paradigm can thus be regarded as a paradigm for contemporary semiotic theories.
