Abstract

Daily newspapers in Yugoslavia regularly carry large numbers of death notices in the form of advertisements published by the families of the deceased persons, business firms and social organizations. The present study contains an analysis based on the material taken from two dailies — the Zagreb »Večernji list« (which has the largest circulation of all the newspapers published in Zagreb) and the Belgrade »Politika« (one of the oldest and most widely read newspapers published in Belgrade). The analysis is partly based on a statistical sample which covers selected weeks in the period 1973—1978, with the intention to give a synchronic view of the phenomenon in question. On the other hand the study also includes the analysis of texts and their content.
