Headlinese is an abbreviated writing style used in newspaper headlines.〔(Headlinese ) Collated definitions via ''www.wordnik.com''〕 ==Syntax== Because space is limited, headlines are written in a compressed telegraphic style, using special syntactic conventions: * Forms of the verb "to be" are omitted. * Articles are usually omitted. * Most verbs are in the simple present tense, ''e.g.'' "Governor signs bill". * The future is expressed as "to" followed by a verb, ''e.g.'' "Governor to sign bill". * In the US (but not the UK), conjunctions are often replaced by a comma, as in "Bush, Blair laugh off microphone mishap". * To save space, a long word is sometimes replaced by a shorter word with not quite the same meaning, e.g. "attack" to mean "criticize". * Country names are often used instead of their adjective form. Headlines are generally sentences or noun phrases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Headlinese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
