Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Japanese has a 'topic marker wa' and a 'subject marker ga'. The sentence which includes one of these particles is written as "a wa A" or "a ga A". "a" is a topic or subject, and "A" is the predicate. Each particle indicates the relationship of set A and A'. Set A is the set of objects which have the characteristics of predicate A. Set A' includes subject (or topic) a, and set A' has three types. (1)A' is the set of objects which are already given with the subject (or topic) a. (2)A' is the set of all types of the objects which word a sujests. (3)A' is the set of the past a, the present a and the future a. First, one judges set A' is type (1) or not. If he decides set A' is not type (1), then he judges set A' is type (2) or not. If he decides set A' is not type (2), then he decides set A' is type (3).
