This study is to analyze newspaper headlines in terms of text linguistics by categorizing the types of newspaper headlines and considering their realizations. The newspaper headlines are categorized according to textuality, mainly to the editor's intentionality and the headlines' informativity. The headlines are divided into two major classes which are the informative and the attention-attracting types according to the editor's intentionality. The informative headlines present their information directly by summarizing or quoting the news story, whereas the attention-attracting headlines present information indirectly by decreasing the amount of information or rather minimizing the amount of information given. To present information indirectly through the headlines, the editor expresses his own attitude and feelings concerning the news using grammatical elements or words that express how the editor judges and feels about the news, and also some expressive devices such as metaphors, parodies, idioms or proverbs. Lastly, information-minimized headlines which attract the readers' attention the most are categorized into two types: elliptical style and interrogative style. As a result of this analysis, it is noted that the attention-attracting headlines are realized in fairly complex patterns compared to the patterns of informatives, and that this could be considered as one of the strategies that the editors use to attract readers to an ensuing news story.
