Abstract

The stylistic value for the title plays a very important role, since stylistics in this aspect defines various expressive means that help writers to title more clearly their works. These expressive ways are cognitively relevant stylistic devices that aid in revealing the title's conceptual essence and a deeper understanding of the work's meaning. Stylistic devices are used in speech with the same goal in mind: to emphasize the emotional or logical importance of the information being conveyed. There are two categories of stylistic devices: I. "figures of thought" (tropes, from the Greek tropos, 'turning'), which deviate from common usage primarily in the meaning of words, i.e. when a word (or a combination of words) is used to denote an object that is not normally correlated with this word; this double meaning creates what is known as an image; II. "Figures of speech" (rhetorical figures, or schemes), whose stylistic effect is accomplished through an uncommon arrangement of linguistic units, atypical construction or expansion of an utterance, and so on; in other words, which differ primarily in terms of syntax from normal language. The headlines in English newspapers are brief and catchy. They frequently include emotionally charged words and phrases. However, lexical-stylistic, phonetic, and syntactic elements such as alliteration, enumeration, rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, metonymy, oxymoron, antithesis, simile, and epithet are used to represent the majority of newspaper headlines.
