Abstract

Many studies have been done for the topic/subject particles -nun/-ka. However, there is still great confusion in the usage of the two particles, especially in a double subject' sentence. This paper suggests that the problem could be solved by a paradigm based on a mathematical paradigm that shows the relationship of the degree of markedness. A comprehensive text analysis is done to test the paradigm and to determine the distribution pattern of -nun and -ka for topic and subject. The explanatory and predictive power of the mathematical paradigm is supported by the text analysis.
