In this paper, I will explain their functions using the concept of "presupposition/focus". In a noun-predicate sentence with Ga, the function of the particle Ga has usually been explained as that of an "exhaustive listing" or "focus marker". However, the analysis of actual language data show many examples of "presupposition/focus" structures in Ga noun-predicate sentences. These are: Type 1: The focus is on the element in front of Ga. Type 2: The focus is on the element behind Ga. Type 3: The focus is on the whole sentence. I assert that it is not appropriate to explain that Ga as a focus marker because various types of Ga noun-predicate sentences exist. Furthermore, Wa marks a topic, whereas Ga does not. Therefore, Wa sentences have the following meaning: 〈The topic and presupposition of the sentence can be understood from the sentence alone without relying on the preceding context or the situation.〉 On the other hand, Ga sentences convey the following message: 〈Interpret the topic and presupposition of the sentence by relying on the preceding context and the situation.〉 The focus does not fall only on the element in front of the particle Ga. It may be on the element in front of the particle O or Ni. It may also fall on an adverbial element. Furthermore, it might exist as part of a predicate or a whole sentence. In Japanese, Ga is not the only particle that functions specifically as a focus marker., application/pdf},
