За някои синтактични особености на словосъчетанията-заглавия в немския и българския периодичен печат

Contrastive and statistic methods are applied in the paper in order to find out some syntactic similarities and differences in the word-formation patterns of headlines in German and Bulgarian mass media. Keeping in consideration traditional word-formation classifications and having analysed some monolingual studies on the subject, the authors came to the conclusion that the drive towards language economy is far more pronounced in German than in Bulgarian and is manifested in the former by varying means of expression. The paper further specifies the correlation among the various groups of compounds, used as headlines across the two languages.
