Abstract
The article is devoted to the development of the semantic and stylistic features of epithets of the lexical and semantic field «city» in the prose of postmodern writers. We have described the views of scientists on the nature of the epithet. The epithet is considered a word or structure that vividly describes the subject, emphasizes a certain feature of the fact or concept. We have allocated five thematic groups of epithets for describing the city in the works of postmodernists: a group of expressive adjectives, a group of positional epithets, a group of visual adjectives, a group of identity epithets and a group of temporal epithets. We have made a statistic analysis of the usage of epithets of different thematic groups. We have traced the peculiarities of the usage of epithet-apposition. We have found the stylistic features of epithets of the lexical and semantic field of «city». We have outlined some of their functions: function of featuring details, function of individualization, psychological function, function of feelings intimization, the function of creating an ironic effect and pragmatic function.
