Abstract
As a universally recognized social practice, the discourse of the Death Announcement
Notice, henceforth DAN, is subject to macro-cultural and micro-contextual influences, and
consequently to various procedural strategies that shape its schematic structure. A ‘thick
description’, one which combines outsider theoretical models with insider experiential
knowledge was adopted for the analysis of a randomly compiled corpus of 50 DAN texts.
Based on Swales’ (1990) model of genre, eight schematic moves were discerned. The
researcher’s insider knowledge was employed to yield a deeper understanding of this social
practice.
