This paper is aimed at explaining the opposition between language and literature which is often imposed upon these subjects. Through a theoretical approach to syntactic stylistics as a discipline, the aim was to elucidate the intertwining of syntax and stylistics, as well as their interdependence. Šimić's approach to grammar and syntax was also described in order to examine his poetry, primarily the syntactic style intensifiers that are present in it, from his viewpoint, within the framework of grammatical norms. An analysis of syntactic style intensifiers is conducted, in which each of them is defined, theoretically explained and supported by examples from Šimić's verses. Some of the syntactic style intensifiers analyzed include ellipsis, parceling, nominative sentence, reticention, inversion, etc. Through this analysis of syntactic style intensifiers, their role as the means that the poet, in this case Šimić, uses to convey and embellish his thoughts, is explained. The syntactic structure of sentences which form verses, or poems, as well as the style conditioned by that syntactic structure, is described. By using the examples of syntactic style intensifiers in Šimić's poems, this paper served in order to illustrate the interdependence of disciplines such as syntax and stylistics and consequently, the interdependence of language and literature.
