| Abstract | ||
| Abstract No one can deny the influential role and the potential power the media has in our modern societies. It is the great shaper of public opinion that can affect our world either positively or negatively. Newspapers as a type of media text are considered as a credible and authoritative source of local, national and international information that have immediate concerns for every reader. To draw the readers’ attention to their papers and topics, the journalists rely very heavily on the headlines which are in themselves a distinct type of text. The language of headlines or what is termed “headlinese” incorporates several features ;though similar in some respect to standard language, , yet it also shows many differences and peculiarities which may sometimes render the headlines ambiguous and misleading. The present paper pins down the general linguistic features of headlinese aiming at discovering what sort of similarity and difference this language has, to decide its degree of deviation from the standard norms. | ||
