This article examines the linguistic and stylistic features of newspaper language as a distinct functional style of modern English. The study explores the structural, lexical, and pragmatic characteristics that define newspaper discourse, including its informative function, persuasive strategies, and audience-oriented communication. Particular attention is given to headline construction, brevity, lexical choice, and the use of rhetorical devices. The research employs descriptive, comparative, and discourse analysis methods. The findings demonstrate that newspaper language is characterized by a combination of standardization and creativity, aiming to inform, influence, and engage readers effectively. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of media language and its role in shaping public opinion.
