Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study was to compare the status of twofold suffixes in the vocative singular of masculine nouns that alter after the first declension class comparing the situation in literature with the results of the research on contemporary corpus. In this paper, we used descriptive and analytical methods. Examples are extracted from the corpus that we have formed according to contemporary works originating from the second half of the XX century to the present. The aim of the study was to determine the factors which affect the distribution of vocative suffixes and whether there are exceptions from the rules in the latest corpus. The results we got show that the distribution of vocative suffixes are affected by: phonemic environment, number of syllables, accent, obscuring the meaning of words from the basis, context and negative connotation, lack of standards knowledge, lack of foreign words adaptation.
