Abstract
A linguistic analysis of the works published by the 16th century Croatian Protestant authors was already conducted by Franjo Fancev. Although it involved all Croatian Protestant pieces of literature, the analysis was mainly based on the New Testament, while marginalising other works, including Artikuli. This paper is, therefore, focused on the morphological analysis of Artikuli. The paper analyses the simple and complex verb forms in the attempt to prove the dominance of Croatian endings in certain forms. It further examines the possible differences regarding the Cyrillic edition of Artikuli. The research has shown the presence of the unstressed forms of the verb to be in the present tense, even though the stressed forms are still predominant. The comparison to the New Testament shows certain differences in the use of some verb forms when it comes to endings, e.g. the more frequent use of the particle neka in the imperative form and the ending -t in the third person singular present. Such ending cannot be found in Artikuli. Unlike the New Testament where the imperfect is formed from both finite and non-finite verbs, in Artikuli we only find the imperfect formed from non-finite verbs. In the other past or future tenses, there is no difference between these two documents. The results obtained from the research done by Boris Kuzmić (2015), Iva Lukežić (2012, 2015) and Amir Kapetanović (2011) on other 16th century Croatian texts show that, when it comes to verb forms, Artikuli match those texts.
