Summary/Abstract: The paper, based on the transliteration edition of Damir Viškanić, analyzes and describes selected and previously unexplored syntactic topics of the Chakavian-glagolitic part of the Kvaderna kapitula lovranskoga. Case and verb syntax, negation, position of attribute in noun phrases and expressions of possession are being investigated. One previously unknown feature of the Croatian language is confirmed in Kvaderna kapitula lovranskoga: namely, repetition of the negative particle ne before finite and nonfinite part of the compound verb form. All of the aforementioned contributes to the Croatian language dialectology and historical grammar.
