Topicalization and Focalization in the GEN construction

چکیده
The multiple nominative (MNCs) and accusative constructions (MACs) that do not have their GEN counterparts will not be dealt with in this chapter, such as psych-verb construction like, nay-ka/*-uy Chelswuka chota ‘I am fond of Chelswu’. See Yang (1994), also Park (1995) for an RRG analysis of this construction. In contrast to their analysis, Kuno (1973) mentions objective ga as in (i) below besides his neutral description ga and the exhaustive listing of ga. (i) Boku wa Mary ga suki desu. ‘I am fond of Mary.’ I TOP M.-NOM fond.be However, the case-shifting of NUN, KA, LUL from other semantic cases except GEN, will be dealt with in the following chapter 5. 100 Chapter 4 Topicalization and Focalization in the GEN construction
