Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to determine the role of synesthetic metaphor in Serbian youth literature. The analysis has been conducted on contemporary Serbian prose and poetry for youth. The approach of the research is qualitative-stylistic, while the primary method used in the study is the linguistic-stylistic one. The focus is on the morphological and semantic analyses of synesthetic metaphor. Synesthetic metaphor is represented as a special linguo-stylistic category that is evaluated primarily from the point of view of the purpose of synesthetic transference. The synesthetic meta- phor, as any other kind of metaphor, communicates complex images and feelings to young readers. It sharpens one’s imagination, represents a specific way of thinking and appeals directly to the senses of young readers.
