The use of phonons in stratificational phonology is compared with the use of marked vs. unmarked features by transformationalists. In connection with a Bulgarian vowel alternation, the simplicity of the total description is taken as a basis for preferring one possible assignment of markedness over another within the stratificational view. The assignment of markedness preferred here runs counter to that taken as universal in recent transformational discussion. At the same time, it allows an analysis which agrees with some basic intuitions of classical phonemics. Markedness, it is concluded, is not necessarily universal; and its implications for simplicity must also be considered
