| Oct 28, 2020 at 18:36 | comment | added | BillJ | @blackened Are you any clearer? I've never heard of the 'state' of a noun. Where did you find the expression? | |
| Oct 28, 2020 at 10:22 | comment | added | Tristan | not that I can think of | |
| Oct 28, 2020 at 4:41 | comment | added | blackened | @Tristan I like the term role; between role and function (or, grammatical function), would you have a reason to prefer one over another? | |

| Oct 27, 2020 at 18:00 | comment | added | Tristan | "role" also is also commonly used | |
| Oct 27, 2020 at 16:01 | comment | added | Colin Fine | No, the grammatical function is not referred to as the "state" of the noun, and if you do so you are likely to be misunderstood. In many Semitic languages "state" refers to a property of a noun which changes its phonetic shape, and relates to its function in a sentence; state is separate from case. | |
