Abstract
The paper presents RetFig, a formal domain ontology of rhetorical figures for Serbian. This ontology is one of the necessary steps in developing tools for Natural Language Processing in the Serbian language, especially for tools pertinent to discourse analysis, sentiment analysis and opinion mining. The RetFig ontology was developed taking into account a plethora of rhetorical figures in the morphologically rich Serbian language, as well as in regard to various classifications of rhetorical figures that exist. We propose a system of linguistic classes and properties that are best suited for this ontology, as well as some of the possible usages for this particular ontology of rhetorical figures.
