Headline writers try to catch the reader's eye by using as few words as possible. The language headlines use is, consequently, unusual in a number of ways.

• Grammar words like articles or auxiliary verbs are often left out, e.g. EARLY CUT FORECAST IN PRODUCTION

• A simple form of the verb is used, e. g. QUEEN OPENS HOSPITAL TODAY

• The infinitive is used to express the fact that something is going to happen in the future, e. g. PRESIDENT TO VISIT MINE

Newspaper headlines use a lot of distinctive vocabulary. They prefer words that are usually shorter and generally sound more dramatic than ordinary English words. The words marked * can be used either as nouns or verbs:

newspaper word meaning newspaper word meaning
aid help key essential, vital
axe cut, remove link connection
back support move step towards a desired end
bar exclude, forbid ordeal painful experience
bid attempt oust push out
blast explosion plea request
blaze fire pledge promise
boost encourage, incentive ploy clever activity
boss, head manager, director poll election/public opinion survey
clash dispute probe quit investigation leave, resign
curb limit, restraint
cut reduction riddle mystery
drama tense situation strife conflict
drive campaign, effort talks discussions
gems jewels threat danger
go-ahead approval vow promise
hit affect badly wed marry

Newspaper headlines use abbreviations, e.g. PM for Prime Minister, MP for Member of Parliament, etc.

Some newspapers also enjoy making jokes of their headlines. They do this by playing with words or punning, e.g. a wet open air concert in London by the opera singer Luciano Pavarotti was described as: TORRENTIAL RAIN IN MOST ARIAS

An announcement that a woman working at the Mars chocolate company had got an interesting new job was: WOMAN FROM MARS TO BE FIRST BRITON IN SPACE

Note that the word 'Briton' is almost exclusively found in newspapers.

Newspaper item 2: UK GDP
