Methods - descriptive, etymological, comparative-historical, structurally-semantic and component analysis. This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of structurally-semantic and functional-stylistic features of urbanonyms of Kriviy Rih on the basis of interdisciplinary approach.Urbanonymic space (set of all kinds of the names of intra city objects (current and former) is understood as a subsystem which elements are interrelated on the following level: urbanonymic space - toponymic space - onym space. At the level of conceptual apparatus scope of the definition "urbanonym" and its formal features are defined. When systematizing urbanonyms, as onyms as a whole, denotative, etymologically derivational, functional, stylistic and extra linguistic descriptive blocks were involved. According to the denotative systematization urbanonyms are divided into names that indicate linear objects (godonyms or street names) and scaled ones (agoronyms, ergonyms). Godonyms are divided into such lexical semantic groups: street names that represent living beings and objects and the ones which represent nonliving beings. There are some lexical semantic subgroups in the first group. These are godonyms with the semantics of glorification, which are relevant to people. The other subgroup comprises street names with aesthetic semantics. Names with orienting semantics are represented in the second group. Scaled objects are represented with agoronyms (square names) and ergonyms (names of business association of people): a) names of firms, b) names of shops. The structural and grammatical and functional-pragmatic characteristics of urbanonyms are revealed, selected material is analysed in terms of its functional load and pragmatic orientation.
