Abstract

Based on the complete excerpt of the 16th-century Slovene Protestants' works, the article presents the dual personal pronoun paradigms in the 16th-century Slovene literary language. Typical of these paradigms are numerous examples of variant forms that in oblique cases arose mostly by gradual pluralization of the dual. The article also presents the frequency of these variants by individual authors and the occasional use of variants for stylistic effects.
