Summary/Abstract: The objective of the paper is to explain the way Radovan Zogović uses stylematics and stylogenicity of phonostylistic units to achieve enhanced expressiveness in his works. After a short introduction to the stylistic peculiarities of the mentioned units, the paper focuses on examples from Zogović's oeuvre, but also from the oeuvre of other Montenegrin writers, to place the actions of this author in the context of earlier phonostylistic actions of this environment, starting with those so early that opinions are divided about their intentionality and character (like the example of Old Man Milija) to newer authors, Zogović's contemporaries. By comparing these procedures, the author (in addition to the basic conclusion that Zogović, as a proven expert in his craft and the author of a particular style described in many works by earlier authors, consciously created his own style at all linguistic and stylistic levels) concludes that, apart from the already mentioned stylistic levels and procedures, the writer also had an excessively developed palette of phonostylistic means, some of which he shares with other good authors, still giving them his own stamp, while he realizes others in his own and unique way, equally successfully.
