Case Markers, Urdu ko, Punjabi nun, Pakistan, India, Aryan LanguagesAbstract
All the Indo-Aryan languages including Urdu and Punjabi use case markers to express the multiple semantic usages of the languages. The present study investigates the variant semantic functions of Urdu ko and Punjabi nun. It aims at the description as well as the analysis of the study samples that show the differing application of Urdu ko and Punjabi nun. Qualitative methodology is used to state the spatial as well as non -spatial usages of the case markers. The results show that the case marker ko and nun mark the accusative as well as dative. These are also used to show a few other temporal and spatial applications.
