Noun ? en grammar abstract feature of a noun phrase that determines its function in a sentence, such as a grammatical case and a position. en 1988 Frederick J. Newmeyer Linguistic Theory: Foundations The basic principle governing case is:(20) The Case filter:A lexicalized NP must bear a Case feature in S-structure.‘Case’ with a capital C is here understood not as morphologically marked case, but as an abstract feature which will be present even in languages such as Swahili or Chinese which lack case marking on NPs (it is usually assumed however, that Case will be congruent with morphological case where the latter is present). en 1993 Anders Holmberg; Urpo Nikanne Case and Other Functional Categories in Finnish Syntax When we have clitic doubling constructions (with both a full NP and a clitic), the NP needs a dummy Case marker in order to get Case, as its “normal” Case is absorbed by the clitic, otherwise it will be ruled out by the Case Filter.
