Abstract
The central proposal of this paper is to present the checking process of the nominativ phrase –GA, in Japanese Language, in sentences with one or more than one nominative phrases. It will be verified, as well, the relationship between this nominative phrase and the focus of the sentence, observing when the focalization occurs. Finally, it will be analyzed the checking process of the nominative phrase in sentences containing small clauses.
