Funeral sermons are one of the most significant types of text in the history of German and Protestant moral writing. For about 200 years after Luther’s death they enjoyed enormous popularity among all social groups and both facilitated and accelerated the transition from Early New High German to New High German. Numerous surviving texts are a splendid basis for examining the development of German in this pivotal period. This article presents the most crucial and rhetorically as well as stylistically conditioned features of the sermon, their impact on the structure of the text and selected forms of linguistic realization with particular attention paid to syntax.

The story about death of seven-year-old boy Gabriel Hruškovic is recorded fragmentarily, just as a small recollection, of his brother Samuel. Slovak Lutheran superintendent Samuel Hruškovic, the major Baroque author, translator, and intellectual, wrote his autobiographic book Vita Samuelis Hruskowitz (1719) being twenty-five-year-old. His autobiography was meant as a resource for a funeral sermon in case of his death. Of course, one can think he was too young to think of death, but his approach reflects instable life circumstances in the territory of Slovakia, typical for that time. Although being young he had survived several serious attacks against his life. He had also experienced loss of people whom were close to him. In the article I deal with an interpretation of contents referring to areas of values and emotional processing of life. Through those topics the author in terms of literary syncretism, a method used in contemporary writing, creates and model his auctorial message. Distinguishing formal and semantic elements of syncretic modelling a text makes a space for a reader to contemplate and to process an extensive content and depth of a message.
