Applying the idea of linguistic corpora to tombstones, we propose to create tombstone corpora as sustainable resource for the study of languages and cultures. For the annotation of tombstone corpora, we propose TSML, the Tombstone-Markup- Language, developed during the annotation of tombstones from Taiwan plus, in addition, some from China, Indonesia and Europe. We develop and discuss our conceptual framework in the annotation of tombstones with its cultural, linguistic and psychological perspectives. We will outline possible research strategies which can be followed with TSML- annotated corpora, ranging from the analysis of word meanings, to models of identity and the comparison of cultures with respect to the patterns of reference systems they provide.
