佐藤さんは社長だ。(名詞文)
佐藤さんはやさしい。(形容詞文)
佐藤さんが来た。(動詞文)
これらの文ではいずれも主語が「佐藤さん」ですが、名詞文と形容詞文は主語が「は」で示されているのに対し、動詞文では主語が「が」で示されていることに気が付きます。このように、通常「は」は名詞文および形容詞文の主語を提示し、「が」は動詞文の主語を提示するという違いがあります。
佐藤さんが社長だ。(名詞文)
佐藤さんがやさしい。(形容詞文)
佐藤さんは来た。(動詞文)
名詞文や形容詞文の主語に「が」を付けると、「社長なのは誰ですか?」、「やさしいのはどの人ですか?」といった疑問への答えや、「他のどの人でもなく佐藤さんこそ」が「社長」であったり「やさしい」という解釈になります。つまりこの場合は他の人物を排除して、ある人物を特定するような解釈となります。一方、動詞文の主語に「は」をつけた場合「他の人は来なかったが、佐藤さんは来た」のように他の人物を排除するような解釈となります。
