CASE IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN LANGUAGES
Abstract
The article discusses the concept of case in different languages, focusing on the distinction between abstract and morphological case. While English has little visible case marking, such as with the genitive, German demonstrates a wider variety of morphological case, which allows for more flexible word order. The paper explains how case assignment works in languages like German and compares it with other languages like English and Chinese. Additionally, the discussion touches on the theoretical debate surrounding the existence of cases in English and different interpretations in linguistic theory.
