Abstract

The paper offers a textual analysis of a sample of headlines published on
the front pages of Večernji list in two socioculturally different periods, 1988,
a year of late socialism and 2000, ten years after the transitional processes
started. The goal of the paper is to trace down and analyse the shi�s observed
within a particual discourse type and relate them to wider changes within
society. The methodological procedure is conceived as including two levels
of analysis, linguistic and intertextual, drawn from the framework of Critical
Discourse Analysis as designed by the British linguist Norman Fairclough,
and complemented with ‘social semiotics’ of the British linguists, Gunther
Kress and Theo van Leeuwen.

Keywords

critical discourse analysis; intertextual analysis; media discourse; newspaper headlines; multisemiotic analysis
