Abstract
Case is one of the morpho-syntactic categories that has been of interest to many linguists. In this paper, following Melčuk (2006), we analyzed the functional and distributional application of case in contemporary Persian and Mazandarani. Through the comparative analysis of sentences, It has been observed that there is abundant similarities between case systems in contemporary Persian and Mazandarani with respect to their function and distribution .Most cases in Mazandarani are Non-Autonomous including accusative, ablative, instrumental and so on. Through this observation, It is concluded that the case system in Mazandarani is gradually degenerating and this verifies Boat's standpoint about this specific phenomenon.
