Titles play a pivotal role in textual communication, acting as gateways that shape readers’ understanding and expectations. This paper investigates the structural and semantic features of titles in newspaper and fiction texts, highlighting their linguistic and functional differences. Drawing on examples from English-language publications and literary works, the study explores how titles encode meaning, structure, and purpose. Newspaper titles often emphasize brevity, informativeness, and immediacy, while fiction titles prioritize creativity and thematic resonance. The research employs a comparative analysis, supported by discourse and semantic theories. The findings contribute to understanding the interplay between form and meaning in titles, offering insights into their communicative efficacy.
