Fallbezogene

Fallbezogene is an attributive adjective used in linguistics to describe features, data, or phenomena that pertain to grammatical case. The term is formed from fall, meaning case in grammars, and bezogen, meaning related or derived from. In practice, fallbezogene information concerns how case is expressed and analyzed in a language, such as through inflection, agreement, or syntactic function.

In German grammar, fallbezogene Merkmale are things like Kasusmarkierung (case marking) on nouns, articles, and adjectives, as well as the role a word plays in a sentence (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive). Descriptions often use phrases like fallbezogene Endungen or fallbezogene Formen to refer to case-dependent endings and forms. The concept is also employed in corpus linguistics and language teaching to tag or discuss data according to the grammatical case.

Fallbezogene analyses are not limited to German. In cross-linguistic studies, researchers speak of fallbezogene Merkmale when comparing how different languages encode case, including affixal, clitic, or zero-marking systems. In computational linguistics, fallbezogene Annotation can appear in treebanks or annotation schemes that label syntactic relations and case features.
