INFORMATION STRUCTURE OF REPORTAGE HEADLINE WITH INVERSION CONSTRUCTION IN VIETNAMESE JOUNALISM

Abstract

In recent decades, when analysing sentences, besides basing on the theory of sentence parts to classifying sentences according to the view of traditional grammar, researchers have paid much attention to sentence partition according to the theory of information structure (based on actual information). That means they have emphasized on the role of Focus as the center of the information. This study based on the theory of information structure to investigate reportage headlines in Vietnamese jounalism and explained why inversion structure is one of the options that the journalists usually use with the purpose of drawing the attention of readers.
