Case Theory

Case theory is a framework used in linguistics and syntax to explain how words in a sentence are connected through grammatical relationships. It describes how different words receive specific "cases"—like labels—that indicate their roles (such as subject or object). These cases help us understand sentence structure and meaning by showing how words relate to each other grammatically. Essentially, case theory explains how language assigns these labels systematically, ensuring sentences are meaningful and correctly organized, much like how signs and labels in a building guide people's understanding of space and function.
