Abstract

The necrology standard text-models and the unconventional ones are confronted. The purpose is to underline their structure and linguistic peculiarities. The pain is described using ready-made phrasing or very creative stylistic solutions. In the standard models the text gives only an information, satisfying the community’s expectations and using some religious references. In the unconventional ones the information is not the most important part. The emotional demonstration is more intense, the language presents lexemes and a not standard syntax.
