  Vocative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
In Latin, e.g., the nominative case is lupus and the vocative case is lupe!
In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

 Oblique case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
casus generalis) is a noun case of analytic languages that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address.
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.

The dative case is a grammatical case for nouns and/or pronouns.
This declension (case) indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of becoming X or change to X. In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.
The accusative case of a noun is, generally, the case used to mark the direct object of a verb.

 Disjunctive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The disjunctive case is a grammatical case in French, where (like other cases) it has a distinct form only for pronouns.
For non-3rd person verbs in the imperative mood, the disjunctive pronouns are used to mark the direct and indirect objects of a transitive verb, as in the accusative case.
Note that in this case "lui" is the dative third person singular pronoun, not the disjunctive -- the difference may be seen in the 3rd person feminine, where the disjunctive is "elle" but the dative is still "lui".

 Genitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
In some languages, nouns in the genitive case also agree in case with the nouns they modify (that is, the head noun is marked for two cases).
Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions.
This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

By posing the elements in the disjunctive, the instruction permitted the jury to convict Bazemore of an offense that does not exist in Virginia law.
Thus, a judge in a criminal case may not direct a verdict, even a partial verdict, for the government even though the evidence is overwhelming or even undisputed on the point.
In this case, the jury instruction concerning the felony of eluding a police officer was so defective that it would have allowed the jury to convict Bazemore if it found that his conduct only was willful.

 Declension in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This collapse of the separate case pronouns into the same word is one of the reasons grammarians consider the dative and accusative cases to be extinct in English — neither is an ideal term for the role played by "whom".
The information formerly conveyed by having distinct case forms is now mostly provided by prepositions and word order.
Modern English morphologically distinguishes only one case, the possessive case — which some linguists argue is not a case at all, but a clitic (see the entry for genitive case for more information).

This is an appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Hawaii refusing a writ of habeas corpus sought by 13 persons in custody under a judgment of conviction in a territorial circuit court on an indictment for an infamous crime against the laws of that territory.
Had the matter introduced by the disjunctive been omitted in each instance, or had it been introduced by a conjunctive, the indictment plainly would have stated an offense against the statute under which it was drawn.
On the contrary, the defendants and their counsel stipulated in writing with the prosecuting officer that the indictment should be 'considered and understood' as 'reading in the conjunctive instead in the disjunctive,' that it should be taken as 'not uncertain,' and that any defect arising from the use of the disjunctive was waived.

Either way, the disjunction isn’t a cause: Jimmy was either startled because I was wearing a red shirt, or because I was singing loudly, or because of both, but not because of their disjunction.
For the relation between a disjunctive fact and its disjuncts is not parthood: a disjunctive fact is not composed by its disjuncts in the same way that the parts of a rock compose the rock.

 (Staiger L.) How Large is the Set of Disjunctive Sequences?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is shown that the set of all disjunctive sequences can be described in an easy way using recursive languages and, besides being a set of measure one, is a residual set in Cantor space.
Along with disjunctive sequences we consider the set of real numbers having disjunctive expansions with respect to some bases and to all bases.
We show that the set of absolutely disjunctive reals is also a residual set and has representations in terms of recursive languages similar to the ones in case of disjunctive sequences.

A straightforward reading of the statutory language at issue in the instant case indicates that the central element of the offense that the appellants were charged with committing is the creation of an emergency situation for an incapacitated adult, by a caretaker who has a particular intent at the time they create the emergency.
We have recognized that an indictment that states offenses in the disjunctive may result in an unfair and prejudicial uncertainty in the indictment, if the disjunctive language results in a defendant not being fairly apprised of what charges against which he or she must defend.
In the instant case, the disjunctive language in the indictments states alternative manners in which the appellants allegedly committed the offense of creating an emergency situation for an incapacitated adult.

In any case, these restricted tractable subclasses are not able to obtain expressiveness of full models, and the problem of reasoning on disjunctive constraints on points and intervals remains NP-complete.
This supposes an extension of disjunctions of non-disjunctive metric constraints proposed by Stergiou and Koubarakis (1998).
A context-dependent disjunctive constraint is a disjunctive constraint where each elemental constraint (i.e.: disjunct) is associated to an alternative temporal context.

Disjunctive logic Programming (DLP) under the consistent answer set semantics is an advanced formalism for knowledge representation and reasoning.
However, this higher expressiveness comes at a computational cost, and while there are now several efficient systems for normal logic programming under the answer set semantics, we are only aware of two serious implementations for the full, disjunctive case.
In this paper we investigate a novel technique to couple two main modules usually employed for the implementation of a DLP system more tightly.; a model generator (which generates model candidates using a backtracking procedure) and a model checker (which verifies whether such a candidate indeed is an answer set).

 Nominative case - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Some writers on English use the term subjective case instead of nominative, in order to draw attention to the differences between the "standard" generic nominative and the way it is used in English.
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

It should be noted that Balto-Fennic languages such as Finnish and Estonian have two cases to mark objects, the accusative and the partitive case.
In morphosyntactic alignment terms, both perform the accusative function, but the accusative object is telic, while the partitive is not.
"Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she".

For instance, in the particular case of equilateral triangles it is true to say, not only that 'all equilateral triangles are equiangular,' but also that 'all equiangular triangles are equilateral.' But the evidence for these two propositions is independent.
A practical test as to whether an abstract term, in any given case, is being used as a singular or common term, is to try whether the indefinite article or the sign of the plural can be attached to it.
We have seen that, speaking quite strictly, there are no terms which are non-connotative: but, for practical purposes, we may apply the expression to proper names, on the ground that they possess no intension, and to singular abstract terms on the ground that their extension and intension coincide.

 Oblique case - Articles and Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In linguistics, an oblique case is a noun case that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
It contrasts also with an ergative case, used in ergative languages for nouns that are direct actors; in ergative languages, the same case is used for a direct object, and for the subject of a sentence where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.
In Indo-European languages, oblique cases often appear as the result of the simplification of the original, more complex system of noun cases shared by the historical Indo-European languages.

Suppose that what unites the Realist’s disjuncts for a given color is, in fact, that each of the disjoined physical properties causes the corresponding color sensation in a normal human perceiver under standard conditions.
The problem stems from the biconditional formula, that was licensed by the Disjunctive Realist theory, which would have to be restricted in light of the apparent environment-relativity of “normal,” “standard” and such terms.
