CONFLICT-CAUSING POTENTIAL OF NEWSPAPER HEADINGS

Journal Title: Мова - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 28

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the structure of the confl ict headlines of fake news, placed in print and electronic newspapers. The object of the study are newspaper headings, the subject is the headline structure, which provides a conscious character of the creation or display by the correspondent of the confl ict situation. The material was selected from a few Ukrainian-language, Russian-language and English-language newspapers. Methods of cognitive and structural-semantic analysis, as well as a descriptive method, were used. As a result of the research, the structural and semantic priorities of the headlines were acknowledged, in which deliberately false information was created to cause a conflict situation in a certain communicative space. We consider the following as the conclusions: 1) the headings of conflict-related newspaper texts do not correspond to the classical requirements of confl ict communication, because they do not represent the conflict, but only provoke it; 2) the usual syntactic structure of untruthful headings is a sentence in which the elementary components of its semantic structure are more likely to confl ict: subject, predicate, object; 3) the headings in which the journalist manipulates the various components of the semantic structure of the sentence are often represented by constructions of direct speech.
