A study of " Bei-sentence" in crime news headlines in the new media context

Abstract

New media play an important role in news communication, and in order to attract readers' attention, they often use quilt sentences in crime news headlines frequently, and such usage has triggered extensive discussions. In the context of linguistics, a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis is used to study the structural features, semantic features and predicate components of the Bei-sentence in crime news headlines, which can explore the use of the Bei-sentence and related linguistic features in crime news headlines in the new media context. In addition, the linguistic features and functions of the Bei-sentence have a significant impact on the meaning expression and readers' emotion of the headlines. The improper use of new media language may cause secondary harm to victims and also undermine the justice of social news. The new research perspective of combining social phenomena with linguistic theories helps to deeply understand the characteristics of crime news headlines in the new media context and helps to improve readers' media literacy.
