COGNITIVE AND CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF TITLES IN FICTION AND NEWSPAPER TEXTS

Аннотация
The title serves as a crucial cognitive and conceptual device in both fiction and newspaper texts, guiding readers' interpretations and framing their understanding. This article examines the dual role of titles as cognitive markers and conceptual frameworks that encapsulate the essence of the text they precede. The study analyzes the linguistic, cultural, and contextual factors that influence the construction and interpretation of titles, emphasizing their role in shaping reader engagement. Through a comparative approach, this paper identifies similarities and differences in title usage between the two genres, exploring their impact on readers' cognitive processes and interpretative strategies.
