Summary/Abstract: The paper treats the problem of antonyms, based on material from the collection Uhode by Derviš Sušić. The paper aims to explain not only the function of antonymy in the collection, but also to offer a special view and select particular categories of antonymy. Our research shows that antonymy as a purely lexicologicaly-semantic phenomenon has specific repercussions in the content level of the text and message of the work of art. It is explained by numerous semantic incoincidences, presuppositions and confrontations of the content, in some lexemes as well as sentenial and discourse constructions. Acontribution to lexicology is reflcted in given examples from literary text of Bosnian authors, that show practical and very useful indicators of functioning of antonymy. Also, there is a special problem of separating contextual antonyms, which, as well as some other lexicology phenomena, shows general linguistic legalities based on polysemy of linguistic structure of lexemes and other units of the linguistic system, and as such they function in a contextual syntagmatic connection.
