1.2 Types of Headlines
The main function of the headline is to briefly tell the reader what the news is about. Headlines may reflect the position of the reporter or newspaper on the facts reported. Sensational headlines are not uncommon in most English and American newspapers. The function and nature of the English headlines will determine the choice of language to use. [4, p. 35] Headlines also contain emotionally colored words and phrases, such as italicized words.
"You crazy waste? Syntactically, headings are very short sentences or phrases with different patterns.
A. Complete the declarative sentence.
B. question.
C. Nominative Clause "Atlantic Maritime Traffic".
D. Elliptical set "towards the sun". E. Sentences with omitted articles. (Articles are often omitted from all kinds of headlines). "Flockman Finds Gold in the River".
fart complex sentences.
G. Headings containing direct speech.
English newspaper headlines can be very difficult to understand. One reason is that newspaper headlines are often written in a particular style that is very difficult in normal English. This style has special grammatical rules and words are used in an unusual way.
A. Headings are not always complete sentences. Many headlines consist of noun phrases without verbs.
– Further wage cuts. – Death of the Holiday Hotel.
b.Headings often include a series of his three, four, or more nouns. Nouns in the first half of the string modify the following nouns.
– A series of wage cuts in furniture factories.
Headings like this can be difficult to understand. Sometimes reading it the other way around can help. Salary Cuts in Furniture Factories Line (disagreement) about salary cuts (reductions) in factories that produce furniture.
c. Headings often omit the article and the verb "to be".
– A woman walks on the moon. D. Headings often use the simple tense instead of the progressive or perfect tense. The simple present tense is used for both present and past events.
– A blind girl climbs Everest (=…climb…).
– Student fights to change course (=...has fights...). The present continuous tense can be used especially when talking about change. Be is normally dropped.
– Britain is getting warmer, scientists say.
- Trade numbers are improving.
e. Many headwords are used as both nouns and verbs, and nouns are often used to modify other nouns. Understanding sentence structure is not always easy. Comparison:

– We are cutting aid to the Third World (= US cut aid... cut is a verb, aid is a noun).

– Aid Cuts Row (= there was disagreement about cutting aids, Aid and Cuts are both nouns). – Cuts Aid Rebels (= Aid cuts help revolutionaries. Cuts is a noun, Aid is a verb).
f. Headings often use infinitives to refer to the future.
– PM visits Australia. – Hospitals should accept fewer patients.
For is also used to refer to future movement or plants.
– Troops in Glasgow? (= Will soldiers be sent to Glasgow?)
G. Auxiliary verbs are usually dropped from the passive voice, leaving the past participle. 
– Murder Hunt:
Man Held (=...a man is held by the police.)
– In the explosion he killed 6 people (= 6 people killed).
Note that forms such as hold and attacked are usually participles with passive meanings, not past tense (which rarely makes headlines in newspapers). Comparison:

– Help Series:

PRESTDENT ATTACKED (=...President attacked.)
– Help Series:
PRESTDENT ATTACKED CRITICS (=...the president attacked the critics.)
– The boy was found safely (=The missing boy was found safely.)
– Boy Find Safe (= boy found safe)
H. Color is often used to distinguish between the subject of a headline and what is said about it.
strike:
From PM to ACT. Highway accidents:
The death toll is rising. Quotation marks ('...') are used to indicate that the word was said by someone else and that the newspaper did not necessarily claim that the time had come.
– The driver of the accident was 'drinking'
A question mark (?) is often used when in doubt.
– Will the crisis be over by September he?
Short words are very common in newspaper headlines because they save space. Some short headwords are uncommon in colloquial language (e.g. bremsen, meaning 'restriction' or 'restriction'), while others have special meanings that are not commonly used in colloquial language (e.g. : big, meaning ""). Try"). ). Other words are chosen because they sound dramatic, not because they are short (for example, blare means "big fire" and is used in headlines to refer to fire). Below is a list of common headline vocabulary.
Behavior – Behavior:
do something
– Foot crisis:
government in action. Aid – Military or Financial Aid:

Abolished, closed.
– The intercity bus service has been discontinued. – A small school faces an ax.
Knowledge of how to use the pun mechanism in advertising leads to a better understanding of the ins and outs of the English press, and can be used in translation theory and when puns are used to create headlines for newspapers and advertisements.
A headline (news item or article title) is a text-dependent format in a newspaper. It's actually part of a larger whole. Certain functional and linguistic characteristics of headlines provide sufficient grounds for isolating and analyzing it as a particular "genre" of journalism. The main function of the headline is to briefly tell the reader what the following text is about. Apart from that, headlines often include an element of thanks. That is, it also serves the function of indicating the attitude of the reporter or newspaper to the facts reported or commented on and instructing the reader.
English headlines are short and to the point. They "condense the main points of a news story into a few flashy words. A well-crafted headline tells enough of a story to pique or satisfy the reader's curiosity."
Group headings like this are more or less summaries of the information contained in the news or article.
The features and characteristics of English headlines determine the choice of language used. Groups of words that are considered in short message analysis are often found in headlines.
A great way for intermediate learners to improve their English is to read English newspapers regularly. Most people who read newspapers read selectively, skimming the pages looking for the most interesting article to read first. They usually base their selection on the headline of the article. Difficulties arise here for non-native English speakers, as newspaper headlines are often very difficult to understand. He has two main reasons for this. The first reason is that newspaper headlines must be short, and as a result must use words that are rarely used in everyday language and even the rest of the article. (Probe for investigation, blast for explosion etc.) And the second reason is that headline writers, at least in British newspapers, look for every opportunity to include a pun in their headlines. It is the main aspect of newspaper headlines that we want to concentrate on in this work.
