Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is the syntactic-semantic and stylistic analysis of incongruent attributes with spatial meaning in Miloš Crnjanskiʼs Novel about London. The phrases with a noun head and a dependent prepositional case construction with spatial meaning are included. The paper analyzes and classifies the semantic types of spatial prepositional-case constructions. The semantic-syntactic analysis showed that the most frequent and syntactically diverse are incongruent attributes with the meaning of indirectness. The results of the stylistic analysis showed that there is a separation of subordinate constructions with a comma, which is characteristic of the style of Miloš Crnjanski. Separation of syntagm elements is most common in examples with the common noun head.
