Question about Grammar Term

In the sentence “Bob, stop bothering me”, what is the word “Bob” called? In other words, what is the grammar term for a word that starts a sentence & is supposed to get the attention of a particular person (or persons)? Thanks.

andrea912 grammar term I suppose the "grammar term" is "vocative case", but in terms of semantics it's called "direct address". You can find some examples of direct address at the following link. com/examples/grammar/nouns_of_direct_address_examples/59 / CJ
