	Oblique case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An oblique case (Latin: casus generalis) in linguistics is a noun case of analytic languages that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
		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.
		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.

	You - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The genitive case is your, and the possessive predicate pronoun is yours.
		It is descended from Old English ge or ʒe, (both pronounced roughly like Modern English yea) which was the old nominative case form of the pronoun, and eow, which was the old accusative case form of the pronoun.
		In Middle English the nominative case became ye, and the oblique case (formed by the merger of the accusative case and the former dative case) was you.

		For all practical purposes, the case that a particular verb governs is not predictable and must be learned by rote, since even verbs with similar meanings may govern different cases, as (7) and (8) illustrate.
		In English, oblique case is a feature associated with V and P, and oblique case is therefore assigned to sisters of V and P. Specifier-head agreement
		Given the association of oblique case with V, it might be supposed that nominative case is a feature associated with V as well.

		Old English (700–1150) also had the same four cases as German, but the distinction between the dative and the accusative was lost during the Middle English period (1150–1500), leaving the modern language with only a single oblique case.
		In traditional grammar, the external relation between a noun phrase and a governor that assigns case to it is distinguished from the noun phrase–internal relation between a determiner and a noun.
		We have been saying that case features are transmitted from a head to a noun phrase, and the simplest way to interpret this statement is that the case feature is transmitted to a DP node.

		As far as the directional case is concerned, the meaning associated with it is of an indication of direction of an action without precise specification of the end destination, ex.:, de qwazhemch'e dok'we we are going in the direction of the village.

		The nominative ãóÑÝæÚ case is the case of the subject and of the nominal predicate.

	Institute for Micromanufacturing
		When orthogonal cutting and oblique cutting are compared, oblique cutting has more advantages than orthogonal cutting because for the same feed and depth of cut, the force which cuts or shears the metal acts on a larger area of the tool in the case of oblique cutting.
		Whereas in almost all practical cases, tools have a nose radius that affects the cutting forces and the chip formation and this is especially true in micromachining where all of the cutting takes place on the tool nose radius.
		In the case of conventional machining, the chip area is considered as a rectangular cross-section where cutting takes place along a straight side cutting edge whereas when cutting takes place at the nose radius the chip geometry will be entirely different.

	Abstract: Nelleke Goudswaard
		Although the case marking of post-verbal UV patients suggests otherwise, tests such as relativization and control show that the patient of UV verbs is the subject.
		Patient-subjects appearing in VP need not be definite but may be specific, in which case they receive oblique case marking.
		I argue that nominative case marking depends on grammatical relations (UV or AV), the position in the sentence (VP or specIP) as well as on pragmatic factors such as the topic / focus status of an argument, and whether it is foregrounded

		Thus, it is assumed that in Icelandic clauses of the type in (1a) the preverbal oblique NP (‘me’) is the subject and the nominative (‘the shark’) is the object, whereas in German the grammatical relations are the other way around.
		To the extent that morphological case is found at all in these languages (with pronouns), the subject is always in nominative case and the object in oblique case.

		Grammatical cases are marks of the function that a noun, pronoun or noun phrase takes in a sentence.
		These cases can be shown using suffixes or prefixes, or through word order, or using totally different words for each function (for example, in English we mark the subject by placing it before the verb instead of after; and we use I, we for the pronouns in subject position, but me, us when they're objects).
		There are many theories about the implicancies of such an array of cases, having to do with the semantics of the two main types of transitive verbs (action verbs and perception verbs) and the relative importance of their subjects and objects.

		Given the thesis in (3), the case of accusative experiencers is oblique, hence cannot be absorbed by the reflexive clitic.
		In Romance causatives, the case assigned to the embedded subject crucially depends on the one assigned to the embedded object – a situation which is naturally explained if both cases come from the same source, namely, the matrix causative verb.
		Subsequent merger of the causative verb leads to case marking of the embedded subject and – depending on the objective case – overwriting of the latter.

		For the verb "break", the case role of the subject is agent, and indicates the entity responsible for the event.
		The case role of the object is patient, and indicates the entity which experiences the state or change of state described by the verb.
		In these cases, the lack of a conjunction or subordinator often implies a certain 'immediacy'; i.e., that the event is a single entity, rather than a combination of unrelated or sequential events.

		In this case, by contrast, the participle with its PRED feature cannot serve as an argument of the nominal predicate (because the latter takes a theme and a directional argument), and the relationship in the opposite direction is semantically anomalous, also cf.
		In the second type, which is limited to designated oblique arguments of nominals derived from a small subset of verbal predicates, the oblique argument preceding the head is not adjectivalized.
