Case Binding

Case binding is a linguistic process where the grammatical role of a noun—such as subject, object, or possessive—is marked through specific forms called cases. These cases are expressed with different word endings or forms, indicating how the noun functions within a sentence. For example, in some languages, the word for "book" might change depending on whether it's the subject ("the book is on the shelf") or the object ("I read the book"). Case binding helps clarify relationships between words, ensuring clear communication of who is doing what to whom within a sentence.
