We analyze their use by different criteria: authors, time periods, author's gender, novel's size and novel's popularity. We also analyze adjectives, nouns and markers used in similes found in SrpELTeC, as well as entities to which they apply. We briefly compare this results on an ad hoc  sample of contemporary Serbian novels. UR - https://infoteka.bg.ac.rs/ojs/index.php/Infoteka/article/view/2021.21.2.6_en
