In grammar, an oblique (abbreviated ; from (ラテン語:casus obliquus)) or objective case (abbr. ), is a nominal case that is used when a noun phrase is the object of either a verb or a preposition. A noun or pronoun in the oblique case can generally appear in any role except as subject, for which the nominative case is used.〔"oblique" in David Crystal, 2008. ''A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics'', 6th ed.〕 The term "objective case" is generally preferred by modern English grammarians. When the two terms are contrasted, they differ in the ability of a word in the oblique case to function as a possessive attributive; whether English has an oblique rather than an objective case then depends on how "proper" or widespread one considers the dialects where such usage is employed. An oblique case often contrasts with an unmarked case, as in English oblique ''him'' and ''them'' vs. nominative ''he'' and ''they''. However, the term ''oblique'' is also used for languages without a nominative case, such as ergative–absolutive languages; in the Northwest Caucasian languages, for example, the oblique-case marker serves to mark the ergative, dative, and applicative case roles, contrasting with the absolutive case, which is unmarked. ==Bulgarian== Bulgarian, an analytic Slavic language, also has an oblique case form for pronouns: Dative role: * "Give that ball to ''me''" дай тaзи топка на мен (''day tazi topka na men'') (This oblique case is a relic of the original, more complex proto-Slavic system of noun cases, and there are remnants of other cases in Bulgarian, such as the vocative case of direct address.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「oblique case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
