The chapter states that the topic is what a sentence is about and the comment what is said of it, and that Korean topics are typically marked by -(n)un.
“Topic expresses what the given sentence is about while comment is what is being said about the topic. Part of the comment structure includes “focus,” representing new information. This chapter identifies several different types of topic and focus constructions and discusses their grammatical properties.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
