  Case - CDLI Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
There are three nominal cases that should probably be categorized as core or grammatical in nature: the zero-marked absolutive/nominative case, the ergative case-marking postposition /*-e/, which is formally identical with the locative-terminative case-marking postposition, and the genitive case-marking postposition /*-a/.
The allative, known in the older literature as the terminative case, is usually associated with the *-ši- verbal infix.
The locative is often associated with the *-ni- verbal infix, or alternatively with the *-a- verbal infix.

 Declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, declension is a paradigm of inflected nouns and adjectives.
Nominative-accusative (or simply accusative): The argument (subject) of an intransitive verb is in the same case as the agent (subject) of a transitive verb; this case is then called the nominative case, with the patient (direct object) of a transitive verb being in the accusative case.

 AllRefer.com - case (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
case, in language, one of the several possible forms of a given noun, pronoun, or adjective that indicates its grammatical function (see inflection); in inflected languages it is usually indicated by a series of suffixes attached to a stem, as in Latin amicus, "friend" (nominative); amicum (accusative); amici (genitive); and amico (ablative and dative).
In modern English, nouns are marked for two cases : common or nominative (e.g., man) and possessive or genitive (man's).
In Latin, six cases are indicated by changes in inflection : nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, and vocative.

 Does Cognitive Linguistics live up to its name?
If there is one Cognitive Linguist who is widely known for having succeeded in capturing the biological reality not just to some extent, but (in my view) to a very considerable extent, and to present that reality, in its full complexity, to his fellow linguists in a relatively easy-to-follow way, it must be Sydney Lamb.
Cognitive Linguists, for instance, rightly start from conceptual structures, which can be reflected in thousands of different ways in the languages of the world, where they are shaped in part by the building blocks of those languages.
Perhaps neurocognitive linguistics is the answer of one Cognitive Linguist (Lamb) to Givón's (1998: 64) call for a "combined metadiscipline that is yet to be born cognitive neuro-linguistics".

 Morphology (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies such patterns of word-formation across and within languages, and attempts to explicate formal rules reflective of the knowledge of the speakers of those languages.
Even cases considered "regular", with the final -s, are not so simple; the -s in dogs is not pronounced the same way as the -s in cats, and in a plural like dishes, an "extra" vowel appears before the -s.
Other, more extreme cases of allomorphy are called suppletion, where two forms related by a morphological rule cannot be explained as being related on a phonological basis: for example, the past of go is went, which is a suppletive form.

 SIL Publications: 1556710461
Walter Cook, S.J., is one of the promoters of the Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics and author of numerous publications in linguistics.
In “Case Grammar Theory” (1989), the author described the Case Grammar models of Fillmore, Chafe, Anderson, Gruber, Jackendoff, and some tagmemicists as contrasting models within Case Grammar theory.
Because Case Grammar lends itself well to displaying the way syntactic features are associated with semantic structures, the author is able to use Case Grammar as an unusually clear, simple guide for sentence analysis.

 LSA.235 | Why NLP Needs Linguistics: a case study
The evolution of computational linguistics from symbolic to statistical models has given the false impression that linguistic knowledge has become irrelevant for NLP.
In fact nothing could be further from the truth: as soon as one moves away from simple Information Retrieval, one needs annotated corpora to be able to train the stochastic models that are en vogue.
In this course we look at what kind of linguistic insights help in developing the right annotation schemes, at the kind of information that is needed to supplement these insights, and the skills that might be useful in that task.

 LINGUIST List 12.2192: Icelandic Linguistics
Case in Icelandic - A Synchronic, Diachronic and Comparative Approach by Johanna Barddal This dissertation addresses the question of what the function of morphological case is in Icelandic.
The study showed that there is a correlation between morphological case and both syntactic and semantic factors.
Fourthly, a comparison of the development of case in English, Swedish and German revealed that the internal order of the changes within the case system is the same for the Germanic languages considered, with English leading the development, followed closely by Swedish, then German, and Icelandic lagging behind.

In the VSO configuration, the subject DP is not in the nominative case, but instead in a form known as the Construct State (CS - not to be too closely confused Semitic construct state genitives).
Case is presumed to be assigned under an Agree relation between a case assigning head H and a goal K which agrees with H. So regardless of whether or not there are such abstract features as [NOM] and [ACC], they can be checked on a head H iff Agree(H, K).

 Ablative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generalizing their function, however, ablatives modify or limit verbs by ideas of where (place), when (time), how (manner), etc. Hence, the case is sometimes also called the adverbial case; this can be quite literal, as phrases in ablative can be translated as adverbs.
In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning "from off of", e.g.
It is an outer locative case, used just as the adessive and allative cases to denote both being on top of something and "being around the place" (as opposed to the inner locative case, the elative, which means "from out of" or "from the inside of").
