    "title": "Information Structure and Bare Nominals in Colloquial Japanese ",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>In formal Japanese, an argument nominal must be accompanied by a particle (<em>ga</em>, <em>wa</em>, etc.). In colloquial Japanese, on the other hand, an argument nominal may be bare, or ZERO-marked. While in many cases ZERO may alternate with (i) nominative-marking <em>ga</em> or accusative marking <em>o</em>, or (ii) the information-structural particle <em>wa</em>, under certain configurations ZERO is preferred to <em>ga</em>/<em>o</em> or <em>wa</em>, and vice versa. This work discusses information-structural conditions licensing and motivating <em>wa</em>- and ZERO-marking on argument nominals in colloquial Japanese. Additionally, it makes a proposal as to how <em>wa</em>-marking on adjuncts is regulated in both colloquial and formal registers. </p>",
