Abstract. This article examines the role of epithets in the works of 18th century poets, specifically Vasily Trediakovsky and Mikhail Lomonosov. The aim of the study is to analyze the functions of epithets in Trediakovsky's translation of the French novel Journey to the Island of Love and Lomonosov's epistle "Letter Concerning the Usefulness of Glass". A total of 330 epithets were analyzed. The findings suggest that both authors employed both literal and metaphorical meanings of words to depict various images, phenomena, and objects.
Keywords: epithet, epithet functions, poetic language, Trediakovsky, Lomonosov, individual author's worldview
