Abstract

The essay introduces metaphors in English news headlines. The essay collects data from authoritative American newspapers The New York Times. In accordance with the classification of Lakoff and Johnson (structural metaphors, orientational metaphors and ontological metaphors), the essay analyzes the specific metaphorical expression in English news headlines as well as the overlapping of the three metaphor types. The study can help English-learners better understand metaphors in English news headlines, thus they can grasp the main idea of a piece of news in a very short time.
