Syntax treats of the grammatical relations of words to each other. I. NOUNS: THE CASES. 1. Nominative. 201. The Nominative Case is the Case of the Subject [see § 44]: as, the sun shines; kings reign. Obs. The Nominative of the Subject is sometimes repeated in a pronominal form, mostly for the sake of emphasis: as "The Lord, he is the God!" (1 Kings xviii. 39.) "Year after year my stock it grew." (Wordsw.) "The skipper, he blew a whiff from his pipe." (Longfellow.) Analogous to this is the repetition of the Object in a pronominal form: as"The lofty city, he layeth it low." (Is. xxvi. 5.) § 202. The Nominative Case usually comes before the Verb, and in the case of Transitive Verbs that position is necessary to distinguish the Nominative Case of a Noun from the Objective [§ 207]: as,— "Alexander [Subject] conquered Darius [Object]." But the Nominative Case may come after an Intransitive Verb, since no ambiguity can then arise from its position and this arrangement is often adopted when an Adverb or an Adverbial phrase precedes the Verb: as,— : "Then rose from sea to sky the last farewell." (Byron.) "The same day came to him the Sadducees." (Matt. xxii. 23.) "Upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in gold of Ophir." (Ps. xlv. 9.) Obs. Occasionally, for the sake of poetical effect, the Verb is placed at the very beginning of a sentence: as, "Flashed all their sabres bare, Flashed as they turned in air." (Tennyson, Light Brigade.) |
