- Abstract
- (en) Many press headlines contain metaphorical compounds, e.g. 'Seifenblasendemokratie' or 'Milliarden-Omelette'. They cannot always be understood and are linked to the following text. The study is at the crossroads of three parameters: (1) the function of headlines with press articles, (2) the compounding process and (3) conceptual metaphor. It is shown that metaphorical compounds are very useful for the role of attraction that headlines have to play towards the following text. The analyzed corpus consists of a collection of examples from the daily newspaper 'Die Welt' and the weekly paper 'Die Zeit'. The theoretical framework is based on the linguistic sign theory by Wiegand (1970), on the reference problematic described by Searle (1969), on conceptual metaphor theory by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and Jongen (1980), on the description of compounds by Fanselow (1981) and Selkirk (1982), and on Van Dijk's (1977) and Bellert's (1974) text theory. Here are some of the issues studied in the thesis: what is the relationship between headlines and the following text? How can conceptual metaphor be realized linguistically, and especially with compounds? How does metaphor interpretation take place in headlines?...
