| description | The purpose of this article is to consider the epitaph as one of the important parts of folk culture in relation to the cemetery genre. These inscriptions emphasize cultural preferences of people and the linguistic tastes of the eras. The epitaph, as a kind of laudatory memorial text, is of great value as a cultural heritage with its flowing style and complimentary texts. The memory of the dead is "communicative" because it is common to all people. Consequently, the keepers of this memory - gravestones - also perform a communicative function. Memory is also "cultural", as it develops specific carriers, rituals, and institutions. The main thing is that the memory of the dead contributes to the creation of community. By addressing the dearly departed in memory, society confirms its identity. |
