Abstract

This article presents a contrastive analysis of case systems in Russian, English, and Uzbek. Russian is a synthetic language with a rich morphological case system, while English has largely lost its inflectional case marking, relying heavily on word order and prepositions. Uzbek, belonging to the Turkic language family, employs an agglutinative case system. The study compares and contrasts the number of cases, the functions of each case, the morphological marking of case, and the semantic roles encoded by case in each language. It examines the historical development of case systems in these languages, tracing the erosion of case marking in English and the evolution of case morphology in Russian and Uzbek. Furthermore, the article investigates the implications of these typological differences for language acquisition, translation, and cross-linguistic influence. It explores how the absence or presence of a robust case system affects sentence structure, information structure, and the expression of grammatical relations. Data is drawn from descriptive grammars, linguistic analyses, and comparative studies. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the case systems in these three languages and to highlight the challenges and opportunities they present for learners and linguists alike.
