Chapter 1. Linguistic features of the language of newspaper headlines in the English-language press

1.1. The concept of "journalistic style"

There are a large number of definitions of the concept of "journalistic style".
Journalistic style - (newspaper-journalistic, newspaper, political, newspaper-magazine) - one of the functions. a style that serves a wide range of social relations: political, economic, cultural, sports, etc. PS is used in political literature, it is represented by mass media – mass media) - Newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and documentaries. The names given in the title are used as synonyms for the term PS: the most common newspaper and journalistic characterizes the presence in PS. two subfields – newspaper-informational and journalistic proper; newspaper and newspaper-magazine distinguish the main sphere of application of PS – periodicals in this sphere of communication; political emphasizes the important role of the political aspect in the approach to reality [2, p. 364].
Other definition of journalistic style – «journalistic style is a type of literary language: one of the book-like speech styles used in the sphere of politics, social, economic, and cultural life of society, and in the mass media» [1].
Publicistic style (from Latin publicus – public) is a historically developed functional type of literary language that serves both the sphere of public relations (political, economic, ideological, socio-cultural, moral and ethical, religious, sports, etc.) and journalism as a genre of literature. The journalistic style is widely used in political literature, in the mass media (mass media): in Newspapers, magazines, in journalistic speeches on television and radio, in oratorical speeches of public and political figures at rallies and congresses, in speeches at meetings. The journalistic style is most fully and widely represented in all the variety of genres on newspaper pages. Since the concepts of "newspaper language" and "journalistic style" are often considered identical or close, this style is also called newspaper-journalistic. The journalistic style is implemented both in written and oral form. Within this style, both forms closely interact and converge, and the basis is more often the written form. This circumstance affects the selection of language tools, because the author must take into account the peculiarities of human perception of information related to the way it is transmitted [3].
The word publicistic is derived from the Latin word «publicus», which means "public, state".
The words journalistic (socio-political literature on modern, topical topics) and publicist (author of works on socio-political topics) are related to the word journalistic.
Etymologically, all these words are related to the word public, which has two meanings:
- visitors, viewers, listeners;
- people, people.
The purpose of the journalistic style of speech is to inform, transmit socially significant information with simultaneous impact on the reader, listener, convincing him of something, instilling certain ideas, views, encouraging him to certain actions and actions.
The sphere of use of the journalistic style of speech is socio-economic, political, and cultural relations.
Genres of journalism - an article in a newspaper, magazine, essay, report, interview, feuilleton, oratorical speech, court speech, speech on radio, television, at a meeting, report.
The journalistic style of speech is characterized by:
- logical;
- figurative;
- emotional;
- evaluative;
- invocative;
and corresponding language means [4, p.58].
It is widely used socio-political vocabulary, various types of syntactic constructions.
A journalistic text is often constructed as a scientific argument: an important social problem is put forward, possible solutions are analyzed and evaluated, generalizations and conclusions are made, the material is arranged in a strict logical sequence, and General scientific terminology is used. This brings it closer to the scientific style.
Researcher M. E. Konrbaev believes that a journalist who prepares material for the media is always guided by a set of requirements for the style, form, content and volume of his material that was originally set – sometimes in the form of specific instructions, and sometimes in the form of an unspoken code. Without taking these requirements into account, the material cannot be published or broadcast, because any deviation from a certain set norm (which, by the way, is important because it attracts certain categories of readers) knocks this material out of the thin niche of the genre and inevitably transfers it to another category. In this sense, there is no such thing as genre material [5, p.109].
In its most General form, a genre can be described as a certain combination of conceptual and formal characteristics [5, p.110].
Publicistic statements are distinguished by their reliability, accuracy of facts, concreteness, and strict validity. This also brings it closer to the scientific style of speech.
On the other hand, publicistic speech is characterized by passion and appeal. The most important requirement for journalism is its accessibility: it is intended for a wide audience and should be understandable to everyone.
The journalistic style has a lot in common with the artistic style of speech. To effectively influence the reader or listener, their imagination and feelings, the speaker or writer uses epithets, comparisons, metaphors and other figurative means, resorts to colloquial and even colloquial words and phrases, phraseological expressions that enhance the emotional impact of speech [10, p.56].
