Summary/Abstract: The article describes the distribution of gender depending past tense verbal plural forms (ending in -li/-ły) in the Polish dialect of Wierszyna village in Syberia, Russia. With the elimination of the distinction between masculine personal and non-personal nouns in the plural, gender depending verbal forms tend to change their distribution. The distribution of predicates ending in -li/-ły seems to depend on the syntactic sentence type. That tendency is proved by the statistics of verbal forms usage in the analyzed idiolects.
