Abstract

The deceased person, whose presence is constituted in funeral inscriptions by presentation of his name, surname and other information such as his achievements, is a crucial component of this sort of texts. The time seems to appear as equally important element of the inscriptions, which is a result of the fact that the existence of the dead person is immersed in the real historical time. Its linguistic image included in folk funeral inscriptions creates multivariate occurrence. Numerous groups of inscriptions use metaphors connected with the daily and annual cycle. These inscriptions significantly create the linguistic image of life and death and express its typical folk notion.
