    In this paper the authors study the degenerate homogeneous structures of linear types in the pseudo-Kähler and the para-Kähler settings. Throughout the manuscript the notions of pseudo-Kähler and para-Kähler geometries are unified and treated together via the definition of \(\epsilon\)-Kähler geometry, with \(\epsilon =1\) or \(-1\). The results obtained in this paper generalize those in [the authors, J. Geom. Phys. 73, 1--19 (2013; Zbl 1280.53047)]. The local form and the holonomy of \(\epsilon\)-Kähler manifolds admitting such structure are obtained. In addition, the corresponding local model is studied, focusing in the singular nature of the metric. The homogeneous model associated to a degenerate homogeneous \(\epsilon\)-Kähler structure of linear type is computed, showing that it is (geodesically) incomplete. The same questions are tackled in the pseudo-quaternion Kähler and the para-quaternion Kähler cases, resulting that the corresponding metrics must be flat. Finally, these results give a complete view of the geometry of manifolds endowed with a homogeneous structure of linear type (pseudo-Kähler, para-Kähler, pseudo-quaternion Kähler, para-quaternion Kähler cases).
