Abstract

The paper is on the issue of whether duality as a verb number grammar category disappears from the Kajkavian literary language in the 16th or 17th century, and about its fate in the 18th century. The issue is a complex one and requires classification of dual verb forms into different types that are elaborated on in more detail further in the text. Preserving or disappearance of dual forms in verbs during the 17th and 18th centuries is a key issue in understanding the differences between the morphological development of the Croatian Kajkavian literary language and the neighbouring Slovenian.
