Summary/Abstract: In this paper we will show a relation of lexical metonymy and syn­ecdoche for body parts (eye, head, heart, hand) in The Pilgrimage of Arsenije Njegovan by Borislav Pekić. Our research should show that the mentioned lexemes have a rich polysemic structure. The paper is also supposed to show that both mechanisms have their own prin­ciples of functioning.
