The article deals with communication problems. The communicative functions of urban-legitimate texts are defined and described, namely: the function of preserving and transmitting national identity, traditions and culture; playback function, the function of reporting events or people; the function of summarizing information and presenting sustainable public knowledge about the world; evaluation function, the function of reference to another geographic object. The expediency of the use of urbanonyms in classes in the Ukrainian language as a foreign language has been substantiated. Urbanonyms can be both a condition and a means of communication revealing not only the essence of the language, but also performing informative and communicative functions. Urbanonomy is an important linguistic and historical-cultural component that accumulates and transmits information from one generation to another. At the same time, the urban-type text reflects the thoughts, the spiritual world of its creators, the peculiarities of a certain historical period, thus fulfilling the function of preservation and transfer of national identity, traditions, and culture. The exploration of urban units allows one to describe the aspect of the language and culture interaction, in particular, how the lexical system reflects the needs, interests and characteristics of human behavior as a carrier of a particular culture. Spatial reality, presented in the linguistic consciousness and formalized as a concept “place”, can be considered as a toponymic picture of the world, which is an integral part of the linguistic picture of the world as a whole. The toponymic picture of the world reflects the character of the culture of every ethnic group and every person. In speech, an urbanization is implemented as a compressed text and is a variant of the text of culture, since it contains information about associations, representations, background knowledge of the object. The acquaintance of foreign students with urban areas contributes to the formation of their communicative competence, provides students with the information necessary for linguocultural adaptation. Urbanonyms are one of the forms of obtaining regional knowledge.
