Introduction. The purpose of the work is to consider synonyms as lexical devices, their communicative and stylistic role in the Moksha language. The subject of the research is synonyms and their functions, the object is the Moksha language. Materials and Methods. The material for the study is the synonyms collected from bilingual and multilingual dictionaries and used in the works of Moksha writers. Results and Discussion. Synonyms in the Moksha language play a certain communicative and stylistic role. Structural, semantic and stylistic features of various types of synonyms are clearly shown in their main functions in the text. Stylistic synonyms, due to the interaction of the emotive and significative aspects of meaning, can cause their semantic “thickening”, therefore they can express a greater degree of quality, properties, actions in comparison with the corresponding neutral words, acting as a means of gradation. Conclusion. The use of synonyms in oral and written speech significantly increases the level of speech culture
