Part of speech: noun

Etymology: Capitalization by Noam Chomsky.
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: abstract feature of a noun phrase that determines its function in a sentence, such as a grammatical case and a position.
pos: noun
examples: The basic principle governing case is:
(20) The Case filter:
A lexicalized NP must bear a Case feature in S-structure.
‘Case’ with a capital C is here understood not as morphologically marked case, but as an abstract feature which will be present even in languages such as Swahili or Chinese which lack case marking on NPs (it is usually assumed however, that Case will be congruent with morphological case where the latter is present).
When we have clitic doubling constructions (with both a full NP and a clitic), the NP needs a dummy Case marker in order to get Case, as its “normal” Case is absorbed by the clitic, otherwise it will be ruled out by the Case Filter. It must be stressed that ‘Case’ here is abstract Case (written with capital C), a licensing requirement making arguments visible for θ-marking, and not morphological case.

examples: The Manosphere essentially is the counterpoint to the feminist doctrine (that empowers women at the expense of men). It is a free form community consisting primarily of men on the internet sharing experiences and thoughts with the intention of educating, empowering and improving the state of men and boys.
Incel is short for “involuntarily celibate”. The term rose to prominence because of its adoption by a subsection of the “manosphere”, a loose collection of movements united by misogyny that also includes some men’s rights activists, pick-up artists, and Mgtow/volcel – heterosexual men who refuse to have sex with women for political reasons.
The foundational tenet of taking the red pill is at the root of almost all the major manosphere groups we will look at in this book, including pickup artists, so-called Men's Rights Activists, and Men Going Their Own Way.
Maisie says that Danny entered the manosphere through the realm of self-help, which Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a sociology professor at American University who specializes in extremism, says is “a great example of how radicalization works.”

examples: Alternatively, the throwout rule, adopted by only a few states, eliminates or “throws out” sales from the denominator of the apportionment factor when sales are not taxable in the destination state.
The effect of the throwback rule is to distribute income according to sales in the origin state. The effect of the throwout rule is to distribute income according to the taxpayer’s overall activities as measured by the other apportionment factors.
The throwout rule would have the effect of attributing the receipts concerned to the Member States in proportion to the other sales, which is not supported by the logic of the sales factor as those other Member States have not contributed to the profits associated with those gross receipts.

Wikileaks has always had a healthy sense of self-importance—one that seems, at least in part, well-deserved. But there's something uniquely hubristic about accusing a major newspaper (and former collaborator) of "gross negligence or malice" over the release of 251,000 unredacted top-secret cables—when the fault lies with the website itself.
