Case that would be haunting under English (8)
I believe the answer is:
vocative
'case' is the definition.
(vocative is a kind of case)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Another definition for vocative that I've seen is " Addressing case (gram.)".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
