41. What is the grammatical peculiarity of headlines?
Grammatically headlines are characterized by the tendency to eliminate all elements that can be done without. It results in the so-called ‘abbreviated grammar’ style and elliptical sentence structure. This peculiar brevity of expression may take a variety of forms, e.g.:



    • The form of an elliptical sentence:




      1. With an auxiliary verb omitted, e.g. ‘Initial report not expected until June!’ (The Guardian), ‘Yachtsman spotted’ (Morning Star);









    • The form of a simple sentence with articles omitted, e.g. ‘Frogman finds girl in river’ (Daily Worker), ‘Blaze kills 15 at Party’ (Morning Star). Articles are very frequently omitted in all types of headlines.



Syntactically headlines are characterized by different patterns of sentences and phrases:



    • Full declarative sentences, e.g. ‘They Threw Bombs on Gipsy Sites’ (Morning Star), ‘Allies Now Look to London’ (The Times)




    • Interrogative sentences, e.g. ‘Do you love war?’ (Daily World), ‘Who has never had it so good?’ (Morning Star)
