An oblique case (Latin: casus generalis) in linguistics is a noun case of synthetic languages that is used generally when a noun is the object of a sentence or a preposition. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Linguistics is the scientific study of Language, encompassing a number of sub-fields In Grammar, the case of a Noun or Pronoun indicates its Grammatical function in a greater Phrase or Clause; such as the A synthetic language, in Linguistic typology, is a Language with a high Morpheme -per- word ratio An object in Grammar is a Sentence element and part of the sentence predicate. In Linguistics, a sentence is a grammatical unit of one or more words bearing minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it often preceded and followed In Grammar, a preposition is a Part of speech that introduces a prepositional phrase. An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address. The nominative case is a Grammatical case for a Noun, which generally marks the subject of a Verb, as opposed to its object or other The vocative case is the case used for a Noun identifying the person (animal object etc
Languages with a nominative or an oblique case system also contrast with those that have an absolutive or ergative case system. In Ergative-absolutive languages the absolutive ( abbreviated ABS) is the Grammatical case used to mark both the subject of an The ergative case is the Grammatical case that identifies the subject of a Transitive verb in Ergative-absolutive languages In such languages In ergative-absolutive languages, the absolutive case is used for a direct object (the subject will then be in the ergative case); but the absolutive case is also used for the subject of an intransitive verb, where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action. An ergative-absolutive Language (or simply ergative language is a language that treats the argument (" subject " of an Intransitive In Grammar, an intransitive Verb does not take an object. In more technical terms an intransitive verb has only one argument (its subject Nevertheless, there are ergative-absolutive languages that demonstrate oblique cases; in the Northwest Caucasian languages Adyghe, Kabardian and Ubykh, the oblique case marker serves to mark the ergative case, the dative case, and the object of a verbal applicative. The Northwest Caucasian languages, also called Pontic, Circassian, or Abkhaz-Adyghe, are a group of languages spoken in the Caucasus region Adyghe language (ady адыгaбзэ adygabze, adəgăbză) is one of the two official languages of the Republic of Adygea in the Russian Federation The Kabardian language is closely related to the Adyghe language (see Adyghe people) both members of the Northwest Caucasian language family mainly Ubykh or Ubyx is a Language of the Northwestern Caucasian group, spoken by the Ubykh people up until the early 1990s The dative case is a Grammatical case generally used to indicate the Noun to whom something is given A verb applicative is a Morpheme that increases the valency of a Verb by adding a new core argument to it
Bulgarian, an analytic Slavic language, also has an oblique case - or, rather, two of them for pronouns:
Accusative:
Dative:
There is also one for masculine nouns with the article:
In analytic Indo-European languages, the oblique case is a relic of the original, more complex system of noun cases from the common Proto-Indo-European language. Bulgarian (български език IPA: ɛzˈik is an Indo-European language, a member of the Slavic linguistic group The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages) a group of closely related Languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages In Linguistics and Grammar, a pronoun is a Pro-form that substitutes for a (including a noun phrase consisting of a single Noun) with or In Linguistics, grammatical genders, sometimes also called Noun classes are classes of nouns reflected in the behavior of associated words every noun must belong Oblique cases appear in the English pronoun set; these pronouns are often called objective pronouns. English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States An objective pronoun in Grammar functions as the target of a Verb, as distinguished from a Subjective pronoun, which is the initiator of a verb One can observe how the first person pronoun me serves a variety of grammatical functions:
The pronoun me is not inflected differently in any of these uses; it is used for all grammatical relationships except the genitive case of possession and a non-disjunctive nominative case as the subject. In Grammar, inflection or inflexion is the way language handles grammatical relations and relational categories such as tense, mood, voice In Grammar, the genitive case or possessive case (also called the second case) is the case that marks a Noun as modifying another The nominative case is a Grammatical case for a Noun, which generally marks the subject of a Verb, as opposed to its object or other
Oblique pronouns tend to become clitics. In Linguistics, a clitic is a grammatically independent and phonologically dependent Word. The Romance languages tend to have even larger varieties of clitics, as in the Spanish expression dámelo, "give it to me," which has two oblique clitics me and lo or the similar French "Donnez-le-moi" with the same meaning; so do a series of the Slavic languages. The Romance languages (sometimes referred to as Romanic languages, or Neolatin languages) are a branch of the Indo-European language family comprising all French ( français,) is a Romance language spoken around the world by 118 million people as a native language and by about 180 to 260 million people
