The present paper is an attempt to describe and reorganize the usage of Japanese particles <I>wa</I> and ga and to give it a theoretical interpretation.<BR>The author maintains that two elements are involved for sentence formation, i. e. Sentence Kernel and Sentence Frame. <I>Wa</I> is one realization of the Sentence Frame and thus completes sentence formation. <I>Ga</I> is only a component of the Sentence Kernel. A Sentence Kernel has the semantic function as a dictum, i. e. the core material of a Sentence. It is shown that the special constraint on the usage of &ldquo;near-sentences&rdquo;containing <I>ga</I> but not any Sentence Frame follows from this hypothesis.
