Abstract

The authors observed the relationship between plural and dual in the framework of a special type, which determines the specific type of grammatical number to call congruent (lat. Congruere - match) duality. Linguistic analysis conducted on the corpus of medieval Čakavian legal texts from the 13th to the late 15th century. Research shows that the dual with the numeral quantifier dva (two) is dominant grammatical number in the NA noun m. and n. gender, pronouns, adjectives and
verbal adjective, and the oblique cases shall be specified types of words dominated the plural. In simple and complex verb forms are frequent fluctuations. With numeral quantifier oba (both) more common are dual forms and in other cases declinabile words.
