Summary/Abstract: The paper represents a continuation of the linguistic and stylistic analysis of individual and combined sounds of the Montenegrin language and is the second in a series of papers intended to cover its entire phonostylistic inventory, after the first paper which was dealing with phonostylistic aspects of stylogenetic features of the vowels. The first part of the paper provides a clear overview of individual sonatas and their features within the domain of stylistics, while the second part deals with the possibilities of combining different sonants. The author carefully considers their common feature, since they have a separate stylistic values and potential. Apart from the analysis of the phonostylistic features of these voices along with the assessment of their expressiveness, the previous attitudes of stylists from Montenegro and other Slavic countries on this issue have also been analyzed. The author has illustrated the most prominent stylistic characteristics of all sonatas using the examples, primarily from domestic belletristic literature. The author concludes that some sonants, as expected, have greater stylistics and stylogism than others, but, at the same time, none is devoid of a certain stylistic feature and potential. Therefore some sonants can further enhance their expressiveness when combined with other ones of the same features.
