bet and vocative
Very common there is confusion between the bet and the vocative. However, while the bet explains an earlier term said in the statement, the vocative, is a call, an invocation or it can characterize a person who calls for another in the utterance.
Furthermore, the vocative corresponds to a term that has no syntactic relationship with another term in the clause, so that it is neither part of the subject nor of the predicate. Meanwhile, the aft maintains a syntactic relationship with other terms in the clause.
Examples:
moisés, come to dinner! (Vocative)
Moisés, the religious prophet, is considered the great liberator of the Jews. (I bet)
