It has been recognized that the Japanese so-called subject marker ga is often not overtly expressed in spoken Japanese. Regarding the particle ga in conversational Japanese, the work of Ono, Thompson, and Suzuki (2000) is most notable. With respect to the bare-marking of ga, however, Ono et al. argue that “the norm is not to use ga, but to use a bare NP” (2000: 66). Although the current study is aligned with their work, we do not see the bare-marking of ga as a ‘norm’. Rather, we see that the pragmatic functions of the bare-marking of ga play just as important a role as ga-marking. Through an examination of naturally occurring every day conversational data, we provide two specific principles, Basic Rule 1 and Basic Rule 2. In reality, the Japanese bare-marking of ga in spoken Japanese is governed by these consistent, predictable, and systematic rules.

已经认识到日语所谓的主题标记ga通常不会在口语中公开表达。关于会话性日语中的ga，Ono，Thompson和Suzuki（2000）的著作最为著名。关于ga的裸标记，Ono等人。认为“规范不是使用ga，而是使用裸NP”（2000：66）。尽管当前的研究与他们的工作相吻合，但我们并未将ga的裸露标记视为“规范”。相反，我们看到ga的裸标记的实用功能与GA -marking。通过检查每天自然发生的对话数据，我们提供了两个特定的原则，即基本规则1和基本规则2。实际上，日语中ga在日语中的裸标记受这些一致，可预测和系统的规则支配。
