Expressions Of Pragmatic Presupposition Based On Simple And Compound Sentensemes In Newspaper Headline

Abstract

The syntactic structure of Uzbek and English online newspapers constitutes a key component in generating pragmatic presupposition. In English linguistics, the syntactic analysis of newspaper headlines has been a subject of scholarly attention since the 20th century. O. Jesperson provided a scientific account of syntactic reductions typical of headlines, the omission of verb forms, and the use of the present tense to describe past events, highlighting that headlines possess a distinct syntactic form. Similarly, R. Quirk defines the syntactic structure of headlines as an autonomous system that does not fully conform to standard grammatical rules. His research further demonstrates that newspaper headlines predominantly feature condensed forms of simple sentences, conjunction-less compound sentences, and nominal constructions, which collectively contribute to their unique syntactic and pragmatic characteristics.
