Abstract

I. It is possible to visualize the function of Japanese particle topic marker 'wa' and subject marker 'ga' by using graphs. These graphs help us understand the role of 'wa' and 'ga'. And they show the difference between Exhaustive listing and Neutral description. II. People or computers can gather information as 2-dimensional arrays by hearing many sentences of the type 'A wa B ga C'. By using the arrays, they can say the sentences of the type 'A wa B ga C', give the information to the others.
