The paper deals with the study of baroque syntactic traits in the biography "Life of Sava Tekelija" written by Jovan Subotic, one of the most active writers of the 19th century. His work, as well as work of many of his contemporaries, is a direct result of the barocization of the Serbian language syntax which was under the influence of the German and Latin syntax, as well as the Polish baroque. By examining the excerpted material, we observed that the most common features of the baroque sentences are: the final position of the verb, the postponement of the attributes, the anteposition of object and provisions, the overrun. A long sentence occurs often, while an anteposition of genitive occurs rarely, as opposed to a large number of cases of postponed genitive. Although syntax parallelism is typical for discourse in the work of Jovan Subotic, it has been rarely found in the material, which can be explained by the nature of biography as a literary type.
