Abstract

Newspaper Headlines are often the first thing seen in newspapers and have a big influence on readers in deciding whether to read the news or not. In terms of language, news headlines have a different construction from the standard English sentence structure. this linguistic phenomenon is termed as "block language”. Therefore, this study analyzes the syntactic and semantic element of headlines by classifying the types of headlines and their constructions and explaining the differences in the structure or construction of headlines with standard language. The data for this study were collected from four English-language newspapers, namely The International New York Times, The Jakarta Post, Aljazeera News, BBC news, and The guardian. A total of 20 headlines are classified and described with tree diagram and their phrase structures.
