Abstract

The author makes an analysis of the verbal forms in the Croatian literary language and in the chakavian dialect, of their formation and distribution as well as of the level of their conservatism and innovativeness. Some of the problems connect the literary language with the chakavian north and south, and others with the central area of the dialect. The literary language conserves the old state in certain problems as the north chakavian dialects, and in other problems the result in the literary language is equal to the other chakavian dialects.

Most verbal forms can be found both in chakavian and in the literary language. Few verbal forms can be found only in one of them, e. g. the past participle only in the literary language, and the fore-future tense and the past imperative only in the chakavian dialect. The perfect, pluperfect and future I are formed in both systems from equal parts. Differences exist in the formation of future II and of conditional I and II.
