A suicide note is a piece of writing written or posted online by someone who dares to endhis/her life and admits that he/she did it intentionally and willingly for different reasons,which vary according to each person and his/her circumstances. Suicidal people usuallyexplain this behavior by leaving suicide notes in which they will either express their feelingsto their lovers or blame someone or just have a chance to say their last words.Different studies deal with suicide notes from different perspectives; most of these studiesbelong to psychology but to have a full understanding of what suicide notes are all about,most of the scholars in these studies have used linguistic analysis to examine the content ofsuicide notes. Thus, the researchers include some of these studies within this paper. Thisstudy draws on the other previous studies that deal with the content of suicide notes and thestylistics studies aiming to extract the linguistic features of particular texts; the researcherswill describe these studies in detail within this study. Then, the researchers will present themost prominent scholars and the influential studies related to linguistic suicide analysis.
