It can occur more than once in a sentence, though there are special conditions for this, but it does not occur with all notionally definite items, especially when associated with a postposition. Also it has the further function of relative clause marker and general subordinator. Comparison of texts shows that in narratives and non analytical texts it occurs less frequently per sentence, thus supporting the topic marker analysis, while in analytic discourse it occurs more frequently, supporting the definite article analysis.
