Abstract:
The paper draws a parallel between the usage of the negative genitive in Russian, in which there is an exchange of the accusative form of a noun for a genitive one in negation, and a similar phenomenon in Japanese – the use of the topic marker-wa instead of the original accusative marker-o. Simultaneously, a use of the topic marker-wa is shown, in which case its function resembles that of the genitive marker-no.
