- Abstract
Morphological doubletism refers to a phenomenon whereby two (or more) forms of the same lexeme have the same grammatical meaning (e.g. leapt/leaped, cactuses/cacti). Inspired by a lack of a linguistic resource where examples of specifi c doublet forms in the Croatian language could be found, the authors of this paper launched the project of creating a database whose ultimate goal is to create a list of grammatical categories in which morphological doubletism occurs and a list of lexemes which appear with doublet forms, as confi rmed by tokens of the respective forms retrieved from Croatian language sources (computer corpora, lexicographic sources, literature and other relevant materials). Th e primary aim is to create an easily accessible and searchable resource that would enhance the research of morphological doubletism in Croatian and that the Croatian scientifi c community would be able to access for free. Each token would be accompanied by information regarding the work it occurs in, the year the work was created, the author of the work, his/her geographic areal, type of text and the relevant morphological labels. Th ese data can be used to trace the phenomenon from the point of its entry into the language through all changes up to its present-day status, determine the distribution of individual forms in the modern language and ultimately determine the role of morphological doublets in the language system. Th e database can contribute to providing more precise descriptions of the language, which mostly disregard the phenomenon in question.
