Abstract. Palaeographic research based on grapholinguistics is a relatively new approach within the framework of Croatian palaeography. To accept writing as a form of expression equal to speech, it was necessary to redefine it and create an adjusted description of it. In the forefront of observation, script as a complete material ready to be subjected to structural analysis is replaced with writing, a cognitive process that transmits a message from an author to a reader/listener. This view on palaeographic research required a different methodological approach, which was successfully resolved with the invention of palaeographic categories. These categories are not an entirely new invention; by observing research material through them, the process of script development became clearer. This method has already been tested on numerous documents and charters from the Croatian Mediaeval period. The material analysed in this research was written in either Glagolitic or Cyrillic script. The main goal of this paper is to present current research related to Croatian Mediaeval literacy that uses this methodology.
