Abstract

In linguistics, a case role describes the function of a noun in a sentence with relation to the sentence's main verb. Some languages have formal case systems, in which the form of the noun determines its case, where as in some other languages case systems are determined by the distribution of the noun in a sentence. At its most basic, the case of a noun or pronoun is an inflectional form that indicates its grammatical function such as the subject noun, direct object, indirect object etc. The syntax of a sentence provides the necessary information to determine the grammatical function of the noun.
