double topic (は...は)

syntax

14 sentences

Two は-marked elements in a single sentence both acting as topics — either parallel ('as for X… as for Y…'), distributed across an embedded clause and its matrix clause, or layering a specific example with a broader return-to-topic. Distinct from the contrastive double は, where one of the two marks contrast rather than a new topic, and from nested topics, where the inner topic sits inside a subordinate clause.
