AB - This study analyzed, according to Lambrecht(1994), NP2’s (1) identifiability and activation (2) topic and focus of unmarked object-preposing sentences. NP2 components corresponding to ‘O’ are classified into pronouns, noun-phrases, bare nouns according to the expression form in the sentence. Among them, pronouns and noun phrases correspond to the ‘active’ state among the ‘activation’ states that the mental representation of the discourse participants is ‘confirmable’ according to the form of expression. On the other hand, bare nouns are found to be ‘accessible’ although they could be confirmed in the form of expression, However, because of the location of NP2 in sentences, the information status rises to the ‘active’ state.
In particular, in the OSV-type, the NP2 component was analyzed as a ‘topic’ included in the pragmatic presupposition as knowledge shared between participants in discourse. In SOV-type, the NP2 components were located between subject and predicate, and had the thematic property of contrast, but were not included in the pragmatic presupposition. In other words, they were found that the ‘topic-focus’ component does not affect the real focus in the sentence which is the focus of the entire sentence but should still be included in the focus area.
