Abstract. This article explores the grammatical category of case in modern Russian from the perspective of structural-semantic and functional approaches. The classical six-case paradigm of substantive declension is examined in detail, analyzing the underlying invariant meanings of cases and their contextually and syntactically determined modifications. Particular attention is paid to the interlevel nature of case, the phenomenon of case syncretism (morphological homonymy of inflections), and the functioning of the so-called peripheral, or "second" case forms (partitive and locative) within the framework of everyday speech practice. Based on a detailed analysis of the valences of governing lexemes, the syntactic nature of the case form is substantiated as an interlevel node linking the underlying semantics of an utterance with its linear-grammatical structure. This work contributes to the systematization of ideas about the categorical status of case and the mechanisms of interaction between morphology and syntax in Slavic studies.Downloads
