 VOCABULARY FEATURES OF NESPAPER TEXTS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION 
 
1. Frequent use of phrasal verbs.
 
Purpose: to make texts more readable (e.g. was closed = 
sealed off). 
2. Frequent use of key words. Purpose: to emphasize the topic of the article. 
3. The use of synonyms with the purpose to avoid excessive repetition (e.g. demonstrators — 
protesters — marchers — supporters). 
4. Selective use of emotive vocabulary especially important in reporting “human interest" aspects. 
Writers can interpret events largely through the degree of attention given to different aspects
of the reported events (e. g. to focus on events, to emphasize, to present, to report, to give
50 lines to something, to refer frequently, to give more news about, to give more attention to). 
6. Make a complete analysis of the article distributed by the teacher, including a resume, review 
of grammar features, graphology, punctuation and vocabulary characteristics.

reader's attention and makes the reader want to read the rest of the article.
