It's approaching zero yes but is that a bad/unexpected thing, given the plot? Bourne spends the overwhelming majority of his time alone/fighting off hostiles except for two very short-lived moments. There was nobody for him to have a dialogue with and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Alicia Vikander's character on the other hand was in a position that allowed for plenty of dialogue and she did have it, she was involved in most of the plot exposition. Hell, I suspect her time-on-screen comes close to Bourne's.
I just feel that criticizing a film just because the titular character doesn't speak much is a bad practice because there are situations where that's appropriate. Showing over telling is something that should be cherished. I'd rather criticize JB for doing very little towards advancing the Bourne story overall.
