Abstract

Japanese boasts a great variety of tautological expressions, by which these tautologies fall into three categories indicated by particles, namely, ハ(pronounced wa), ?,?(pronounced ga) and モ(pronounced mo). Some of which carry certain unusual semantic features when these tautologies are employed in clauses. This paper aims at analyzing the ハ(pronounced wa) tautology in subordinate clauses with minimal independence degree, and exploring the semantic properties of this category.
