2 Literature Review
2.1 Previous Studies
Many domestic experts have studied English news headlines from different aspects and also in different fields. Some study the translation skills of the headlines, including “literal translation, free translation, epexegesis and omission”, etc. (Zhang Chong, 2010: 77-79) and “translation of figures of speech in headlines from the perspective of functional equivalence” (Wang Xiao, Huang Chunlan, 2009：92-94) and journalism (Hao Shukai, 2003:229-231). Some analyze characteristics of language and culture of the headline ( Zhou Jie, 2008：90-101). Besides, some study “features of English entertainment news headlines”（Liu Fenglin, 2004：169-172）and sports(Xing Lina, Zhao Haijun, 2011:34-37 ).
Although there are numerous studies on English news headlines, they usually adopt methods of quantitative and intuitive comparison, which is original and has a low reliability due to errors. Only a few studies have analyzed online headlines with methods of corpus linguistics, including “feature analysis of English NBA news headlines” (Tao Xuecheng, Zhang Ping, 2010:45-56) and “online English sports news headlines” (Yu Yang, 2010: 151-154).来~自^优尔论+文.网www.youerw.com/ 自建语料库对网球英语新闻标题的分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_75936.html
