Formal classification, following Shaghaghi’s division of the reduplication process, includes complete and incomplete reduplication and their types, completed mere reduplication, completed added reduplication, and then incomplete prefix reduplication and incomplete suffix reduplication. First, the dual constructions of the Lori Dehlorani dialect, which numbered 523 cases, were presented in separate tables and their frequency was determined. Then, the collected information was analyzed to examine the structure of dual construction in the dialect of Lori Dehlorani as one of the dialects of southwestern Iran. The results showed that the Lori Dehlorani dialect uses a variety of structures classified in the Shaghaghi classification to produce dual constructed words, and dual structures in this dialect are iconic construction, but their frequency is not the same. Thus, “dual suffix structures” with a frequency of 148 (%28) and “dual prefix structures” with a frequency of 5 cases (%1) of the total duality structures in the field of formal analysis, respectively, are the highest and lowest applications in the mentioned dialect.
