Abstract

The case is a multifunctional category, in other words, it has many functions. Cases are not only symbolic. Thus,
cases are semantically related to deep structures, because they express semantic connections and functions, and they are
related to surface structures and syntactic, because they express morphological forms. This suggests that the case also
performs deep semantic functions. Morphological cases are those that have specific case markers and can manifest in a
surface structure. Here the case suffixes allow the listener to clarify the reasoning, even if he does not actually see the
scene. This is because case suffixes eliminate misunderstandings and reduce the semantic complexity of grammatical
analysis so that the listener does not draw the wrong contextual conclusions about the receiving or presenting party.
Case roles present the deep structural connections that exist between nominal expressions and verbs in any sentence,
and are perceived as a different concept from the traditional grammatical cases such as nominative, accusative, genitive
associated with inflectional forms. While the declining is grammatical in nature and expresses surface cases related to
surface structures, the case roles are related to deep structures expressing semantic connections or functions, and are
also semantic in nature. Case relations mean syntactic relations that are more popular than semantic roles.
